Naturopath Jade Walkers joins Rebecca Coomes on The Healthy Gut Podcast to discuss the connection between SIBO and Endometriosis, how to identify which condition you have and why your gut health can have a huge impact on the severity of your endometriosis symptoms.
What You'll Learn:
The strong overlap between SIBO and endometriosis, and how many women experience both conditions together rather than in isolation
Why endometriosis is often missed for so long, including outdated beliefs that severe period pain is “normal” and lack of referral to the right specialists
Why people with endometriosis may be at higher risk of SIBO or SIMO, including factors like surgeries, adhesions, constipation, pelvic floor dysfunction, antibiotics, PPIs, and bowel involvement
The concept of “endo belly,” and how bloating in endometriosis may sometimes actually be driven by SIBO, SIMO, bowel lesions, or food intolerances rather than endometriosis alone
Common signs that the gut needs deeper investigation, including bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food reactions, fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, joint pain, and systemic inflammation
The role of histamine intolerance, mast cell activation, and estrogen, and how these can amplify inflammation, pain, and symptom flares in women with endo and gut dysfunction
The impact of adhesions, including how they may contribute to pain, altered bowel function, SIBO development, and the “hot poker” sensation some women experienc
The need for a multidisciplinary, personalised approach, including the potential role of naturopaths, pelvic floor physios, osteopaths, microbiome and SIBO testing, and skilled endometriosis specialists
