Send us Fan Mail

If you’ve been eating “perfectly,” taking your probiotics, and still feel bloated, backed up, or uncomfortable, you might be dealing with Methane SIBO, also known as Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth (IMO), a commonly missed diagnosis that’s keeping your gut stuck in slow motion.

In this episode, Alyssa Simpson breaks down:

• What Methane SIBO actually is and how it’s different from hydrogen SIBO
• Why it causes bloating, constipation, and sluggish digestion
• How stress, surgeries, and medications set the stage for overgrowth
• Why standard tests often miss methane overgrowth
• What testing options and diet changes can help you finally move forward

You’ll walk away understanding the “why” behind your symptoms and the first steps to start healing.
