Lessons learned from having chronic SIBO with Rebecca Coomes | Ep. 81

Rebecca Coomes was diagnosed with SIBO in early 2015. On today's
podcast she reflects on the insights she has gained from having a
chronic condition and the lessons she has learned about herself,
her health, her body and SIBO. On the episode she discusses:





Why SIBO can be a wake up call we need to listen to

100% resolution might not be possible but 75% or 80%
improvement can be and that is ok

If we have been sick a long time, we can’t expect complete
resolution within days

Why we should focus on how we are feeling rather than what
test results say

Testing is helpful for diagnosis and understanding what it
going on but we need to treat the whole body and the person, not
just the test results

Why tracking how we're feeling is so helpful in recognising
how we're changing

Diet is helpful in controlling symptoms but isn't the only
element in treating SIBO

Why working with a skilled dietician or nutritionist is such
a good investment in developing a nutritional protocol that's
right for us

The importance of recognising disordered eating early and
investing in a skilled psychologist who can help us navigate
through the challenges of SIBO

Why there are 4 stages to treating SIBO, yet so many people
only do the first 2

The importance of building a dream team of Practitioners
around you

Not letting your location stop you from getting great care

Understanding that we know our bodies the best. Trust your
symptoms and instincts

Changing your internal dialogue and limiting self beliefs

Writing down your goals and working towards them

Prioritising your spending so you spend money on health and
fulfilment rather than distractions

Looking to see what positives and lessons you can take from
this experience
