Underlying Causes of SIBOAdvances in TestingAdvances in Treatment• Antimicrobials• Elemental Diet• Prokinetics
Dr Jacobi’s Clinical tips
![Page 6: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Basics of SIBO• Bacterial overgrowth of normal colonic bacteria
into the small intestines• Cause damage to the brush border and
therefore absorptive pathways• Often a consequence of gastroenteritis (food
poisoning) • 60% of IBS is considered to be SIBO• A very specific condition which requires proper
assessment and treatment• Please refer to the 2014 webinar for more
information (available at www.sibotest.com)
![Page 7: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SIBO/IBS• SIBO-D = diarrhoea dominant
• SIBO-M = mixed diarrhoea and constipation
• SIBO-C = constipation dominant (methane mostly)
•NOTE: if excessive watery stools (in excess of 6-7 daily) it is unlikely to be SIBO. Typically SIBO has some mixed bowel patterns
![Page 8: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Underlying causes of SIBO
• SIBO does have a CAUSE and if this cause is not addressed, relapse after treatment is common • The main causes are either:
The impairment of the migrating motor complex (MMC) and the enteric nervous systemorAnatomical issues causing the normal loops of small intestines to be affected (kinks in a garden hose)
![Page 9: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Underlying causes of SIBO
• Post infectious • Diabetic enteropathy• Adhesions: abdominal surgery- appendix,
endometriosis, cesarean, cholecystectomy• Blind loops (gastric bypass patients) • Pseudo-obstruction: mechanical obstruction
without evidence of anatomical obstruction •Medications: narcotics (morphine, codeine, illicit
drugs), proton pump inhibitors• Stress :
HCL output Motility of the SI
![Page 10: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Underlying causes of SIBO
• Large and small intestinal diverticulosis•Alcoholism•Other diseases: celiac disease, NASH,
pancreatic exocrine insufficiency
![Page 11: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Post Infectious SIBO•Military study looked at the likelihood of
developing IBS after stressful events or gastroenteritis• Stressful events included: shooting a gun
in combat, shooting another human, active combat, and being injured in combat•Only gastroenteritis was associated with the development of IBS
Porter CK, et al. Dig Dis Sci 2013
![Page 12: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Risk of Post infectious IBS
•Risk of PI-IBS increases 7 fold after infectious gastroenteritis• 4 main infectious organisms causing acute
gastroenteritis (food poisoning): • Campylobacter jejuni • E.coli• Salmonella• Shigella
![Page 13: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CdtB toxin• These 4 organisms secrete a similar toxin:
cytolethal distending toxin B (CdtB) •Anti-CdtB secreted as a response to the
infection.•Anti CdtB – similar to vinculin, an
important component of the MMC and enteric nervous system•Mistaken identity: anti-vinculin antibodies
made instead of anti-CdtB attack the enteric nervous system
![Page 14: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Food poisoning
• C. Jejuni• E. Coli• Shigella• Salmonella
Bacterial toxin CdtB
• AUTOIMMUNITY
• Anti vinculin antibodies
• Anti CdtB AB
Gut nerve damage
• Reduced ICC• Reduced

Common IBS/SIBO pathophysiology
![Page 15: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Ileal Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in normal
controls
![Page 16: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ileal ICC in SIBO
![Page 17: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Inflammation
•Nerve inflammation is driving the autoimmunity• Inflammation without autoimmunity: ICC
cells able to repair within 3 weeks of resolution of inflammation
![Page 18: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In patients with history of food
poisoning and IBS• 5 times more likely to get another episode
of food poisoning due to the slowed MMC• Takes fewer and fewer bacteria in each
episode to cause food poisoning• Each episode increases the likelihood of
developing SIBO due to further decreased motility
![Page 19: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The big Question
In SIBO cases caused by post infectious gastroenteritis:
should our main goal be the resetting and repair of the MMC rather than primarily focusing on antimicrobials?
![Page 20: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Clinical Pearl
• Prevention of food poisoning is important in our SIBO patients to prevent further damage to the MMC
My travel recommendation:Herbal bitters/IberogastAntimicrobial containing berberineSaccharomyces boulardii
![Page 21: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Adhesions•Another cause for the development of
SIBO besides post infectious causes. • Post surgical: adhesions are a healing
mechanism. Appendectomy, cholecystectomy, hysterectomy, Laparoscopy, bowel resections etc.•Can often be palpated in an abdominal
exam. Movability of organs, areas of restriction
![Page 22: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Treatment of adhesions
• Clear Passage: US based PT centre specialising in the non-surgical tx of adhesions
www.clearpassage.com• 20 hours of Tx over 5 days
Other optionsVisceral release therapy?Acupuncture?I don’t think Castor oil packs are enough
![Page 23: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Testing for SIBO
•New Blood test for IBS – does NOT replace the breath test
• Lactulose/ Glucose breath tests• Hydrogen • Methane- new spot test may be on the horizon
•Other tests to consider for your SIBO patient
![Page 24: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
New IBS Blood Test (just released)
•Measures anti CdtB and anti vinculin•>60% accurate to diagnose IBS• Intended to prevent extensive work up
(colonoscopies, endoscopies)•Best suited for GPs as an initial workup: IBS
vs IBD•Does NOT replace lactulose breath test for
SIBOEstablishes IBS as an autoimmune condition
![Page 25: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Drawbacks of the blood test
if negative, can still have SIBO but means it is less likely to be caused by autoimmune reaction. Follow up with breath test to confirm
Not yet offered by labs in Australia. 48 hour turn-around time to get blood to the lab in the USA
![Page 26: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Lactulose Breath Test (LBT)
• Still considered to be the primary test for SIBO• SIBOtest uses same testing guidelines and
reference ranges as the SIBO center in Portland.• 3 hour breath test- • first 2 hours are considered SI time• Last hour could be slow transit or LI
SIBOtest – only lab in Australia to offer LBT for SIBO
![Page 27: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Why test?
• To understand the levels of hydrogen and methane•Gives you a guideline as to how many
cycles of antimicrobials you may need•Re-test to ensure bacteria are eradicated
![Page 28: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
First Test June 2014
![Page 29: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
2nd test Nov 2014
![Page 30: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
3rd Test May 2015
![Page 31: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Methane•Methanobrevibacter smithii – methanogen•Unknown if beneficial benefit but assoc.
with higher calorie extraction•Highly associated with SIBO-C• Patients feel best when methane <3ppm• Poorly absorbed from LI•Not produced with substrate lactulose•New “spot re-test” is coming…stay tuned
![Page 32: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
So the LBT is negative….
•No test is perfect• If your patient has all the classic
symptoms of SIBO: consider Glucose breath testing as a back up
![Page 33: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Other tests for the SIBO patient (not
diagnostic for SIBO)•Celiac/Gluten intolerance: sxs often same
as SIBO•CDSA – calprotectin, elastase, fat in stool• Food sensitivities•MTHFR and other methylation tests –
Histamine sensitivity, B12/FA • Lyme disease: similar GI sxs
![Page 34: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Alarm s/sxs in IBS-- require more extensive evaluation (e.g., imaging
studies and/or colonoscopy
• Fever• weight loss• blood in stools• nocturnal symptoms• progressive abdominal pain • laboratory abnormalities• abnormal physical findings• family history of inflammatory bowel disease
(IBD) or colorectal cancer (CRC)

Antimicrobials
•Rifaximin and other antibiotics (great resource for proper dosing www.siboinfo.com)
•Herbal antimicrobials
• Elemental Diet
![Page 38: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Rifaximin•Only just approved by the FDA for the
treatment of IBS•Rifaximin (Xifaxan) – high Hydrogen•Rifaximin and Neomycin – high methane •Does not cause dysbiosis as it is bile soluble
not water soluble•Does not cause antibiotic resistance•Other antibiotics taken with Rifaximin seem
to also be less likely to cause bacterial resistance
![Page 39: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Rifaximin•Dose is 550mg 3x daily •Compounded Xifaxan. Uncertain from
where this is sourced. There is quite a bit of grumbling about Rifaximin sourced from outside the US– questions about efficacy and systemic absorption (vs just staying in the intestinal lumen) • I have had patients get Rx a handful of
times in tough cases
![Page 40: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Herbal Antimicrobials
•Dr Mullin Research at Johns Hopkins University showed herbal antimicrobials as effective as Rifaximin•His research used herbal products from 1
US based company•None were specifically formulated for SIBO

Potential new antimicrobials
•Manuka herb• Pomegranate seed•Horopito
Clinic based research coming in 2015/2016
![Page 44: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
SIFO- small intestinal fungal overgrowth
• Fungal overgrowth often accompanies SIBO• The diet and the antimicrobials usually treat
this as well but consider • Additional antifungals • Probiotics (immune regulation)• Biofilm disruptors – seem more successful
with fungal infections
![Page 45: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Elemental Diet (ED)• Very effective in reducing bacteria•Can decrease severe gas levels in one
course (2 weeks) – reductions of 148ppm have been documented•Vivonex formula – Dr Pimentel. •Homemade ED – Dr Siebecker- not
formally testedPimentel, M. A 14 day elemental diet is highly effective in normalizing lactulose breath test. 2004
![Page 46: SIBO Webinar 2015 - Advances in the Treatment and Management of SIBO by Dr Nirala Jacobi ND, CMO, SIBOTest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/58727d371a28abc7068b591f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Elemental Diet (ED)
•Recipe: Siboinfo.com; Resources; Handouts • Protein= amino acids, CHO= honey
(fructose & glucose)/glucose (dextrose), Fat= oil, Micronutrients= multi-vitamin, salt (electrolytes)• 2versions: 1. Matches Vivonex (High CHO)
2. Low CHO/High Fat

Elemental Diet: Clinical Notes (Dr
Siebecker) •Recommend family/friends give encouragement during • Expect bowel changes-odd colors, diarrhea, constipation•Often takes 1-2 weeks for stool to normalized after, or longer•Die off can be very bad and last the whole time• Flu-like feeling• Fatigue•Headache•Aggravation of existing or past symptoms•New GI symptoms

Important points about ED
• Standard commercial “detox” formulas and protein powders are NOT the Elemental formula and will NOT work for this purpose
•Wait about 10 days after completing the ED before re-testing

ProkineticsNew Guideline: Typically started AFTER completion of antimicrobials and re-test is clear
Aims to reset the MMC (vs just laxatives)
Failure to use effective prokinetic is most common cause of relapse

Conventional Prokinetics
• Prucalopride: 5HT4 agonist, works on stomach, SI, and colon. Limited data, difficult to get in the US but Preferred prokinetic of Dr Pimentel. Dose: 0.5-2mg before bed• Low dose Erythromycin (LDE) – Motilin
agonist, works on stomach and SI, mild effect on colon. In vitro- no effects on microbiome. Dose: 50mg before bed• LDN- in limited use and practitioners
report mixed results

Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
• Bioactive compounds within the rhizome of ginger, particularly Gingerol and Shogaol class of compounds• The major chemical constituents of ginger are [6]-
gingerol, [8]-gingerol,[10]-gingerol, and [6]-shogaol• Promotes gastric emptying rate and motility
(gastroduodenal)•Modulates serotonin signaling by 5-HTP4 stimulation• Binds Type 3 (5-HTP3) receptors in enteric nervous
system and brain stem• NOTE: Ginger may be contraindicated with blood
thinning medications.

Ginger and Motility•The effect of a ginger rhizome extract (2 x 100 mg) was studied on fasting and postprandial gastroduodenal motility with stationary manometry in 12 healthy volunteers.•The results showed that: the interdigestive antral motility was significantly increased by ginger during phase III of the migrating motor complex•Oral ginger improves gastroduodenal motility in the fasting state and after a standard test meal

Prokinetics – thoughts
•Need to stay on it for a minimum of 6 months even if sxs have resolved• Suggested to re-test after stopping the
prokinetic to ensure MMC is working• In case of debilitating adhesions or more
severe disease, may have to stay on it indefinitely
