SIBO is a condition of bactetial overgrowth in the small intenstine, so I'm oncerned that probiotics would make overgrown bacteria get more out of control. I've read that probiotics and prebiotics are in fact often not recommended for SIBO. How might this product be appropriate?

Oct 23Hi, my daughter is fighting Lyme Disease. She will be on antibiotics for the foreseeable future. Our doctor recommended using Bravo. Does anyone know how best to do this. I assume I should try to distance the timing between antibiotics and Bravo....any ideas?
Catherine, I am not a doctor and can't speak to the medical understanding of SIBO. I understand the concern about bacterial overgrowth and their volitility. They are hard to manage like an over grown property with growing out of proportion. At times, if there is an infection there can be pain associated with the removal of the bacteria! So go carefully. Take a spoon and dip it into the yogurt. Mix that spoon and stir some water. Take that water and sip it through out the day. Build it as you can just a tiny bit per day or leave it at a level for a week.
The other thing to do to give you a chance to clear the SIBO is to use the Bravo on your skin. This way it can't interfere with the gut issues. You will still build your micro-biome and get all the good benefits. As your gut gets well, you will enjoy greater health.
