So, what causes that? Once again, it’s complicated. It could be inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, whether due to bacterial imbalances, dysbiosis, or SIBO; permeability of the gastrointestinal tract; particular infections; or hormonal imbalances. It could also be related to the mind-gut connection in a way we don’t completely understand just yet. As a result, treatments are also complex and can include anything from pre- and probiotics to mind-body medicine, acupuncture, even abdominal massage, and, of course, treating the SIBO.
