Bloating After Alcohol – Why Does Alcohol Make Your Stomach Feel Bloated?
Share this article skip render: ucaddon_social_share_buttons Do you feel bloated, gassy or experience stomach pain after drinking alcohol? You are not alone. Alcohol can affect the gastrointestinal tract in several ways and, for some people, may contribute to increased bloating, gas or other digestive symptoms. If these symptoms keep coming back, there may be several possible explanations. SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), meaning an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine, is one of them. In this article, we look at why alcohol can affect the gut, how alcohol and SIBO may be connected, and what you can do if you often feel bloated after drinking. Why does alcohol make you feel bloated? Alcohol can affect several functions of the […]
Stress, SIBO and Overweight – How Are They Connected?
Share this article skip render: ucaddon_social_share_buttons Can stress affect weight and gut health? Yes, long-term stress can affect both the body’s metabolism and the function of the gastrointestinal tract. Stress can affect several systems in the body, including the nervous system, metabolism and gastrointestinal tract. In some people, long-term stress may also affect the normal movements of the intestine, one of several factors associated with the development of SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), a condition in which bacteria grow in excessive numbers in the small intestine. At the same time, overweight is a complex condition influenced by many factors, such as genetics, diet, physical activity, sleep, hormones and gut health. Stress and SIBO are therefore rarely the sole explanation, but […]
The connection between SIBO and Rosacea – what does the research say?
Share this article skip render: ucaddon_social_share_buttons Can SIBO cause rosacea? Research suggests that there is a connection between SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and rosacea in some individuals. Rosacea is a complex skin condition influenced by several factors, including genetics, the immune system, environment, and gut health. For some people, SIBO may be a contributing factor. This article reviews what current research says about the link between SIBO and rosacea, along with the gut–skin axis. What is rosacea? Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face. Common symptoms include redness, visible blood vessels, bumps, and sometimes a burning or stinging sensation. Symptoms often occur in episodes and vary in severity. Rosacea most commonly appears on the […]
This is how you can strengthen and restore a Leaky Gut
Share this article skip render: ucaddon_social_share_buttons What is a leaky gut? A leaky gut (increased intestinal permeability) means that the tight junctions in the mucosa of the small intestine have weakened. This allows unabsorbed substances, such as undigested food particles and endotoxins, to pass into the bloodstream and trigger the immune system. Symptoms: Bloating, chronic fatigue, skin problems (such as eczema/acne) and food intolerances. Main cause: Imbalance in the intestinal flora (dysbiosis), chronic stress, ultra-processed food and inflammatory substances. Solution: Identify triggering factors, add nutrients that build up the mucosa and support the intestinal flora with the right fiber and probiotics. Why does imbalance and increased permeability occur in the small intestine? The mucosa of the small intestine covers an […]
Stress Stomach – Why Does Stress Cause Stomach Pain and What Can Help?
Share this article skip render: ucaddon_social_share_buttons Stress doesn’t just affect the brain – the stomach reacts too. During prolonged stress, the normal function of the intestines can change, which can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and acid reflux. In this article, we explain why stress affects the stomach, what role the vagus nerve plays, and what you can do yourself to support both the nervous system and the gut. The Most Important Points Prolonged stress can affect both the nervous system and digestion. Stress can inhibit the vagus nerve, which is important for normal bowel function. Impaired intestinal motility can increase the risk of SIBO in some people. Stress stomach can cause symptoms such as […]
Candida Overgrowth in the Small Intestine (SIFO) – Everything You Need to Know
Share this article skip render: ucaddon_social_share_buttons Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO) is a condition in which fungi, most commonly Candida, grow excessively in the small intestine. It can cause symptoms similar to IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), including bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort, and fatigue. Research suggests that factors such as impaired intestinal motility (the Migrating Motor Complex, or MMC), chronic stress, and low stomach acid may increase the risk of fungal overgrowth. In this article, we’ll explore the symptoms, possible causes, and treatment options for SIFO based on current scientific knowledge. Key Takeaways Candida is a natural part of the body’s microbiome, but it can sometimes grow beyond normal levels. Diet and lifestyle changes may […]
IBS, SIBO, and Leaky Gut: All you need to know
Share this article skip render: ucaddon_social_share_buttons IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), and leaky gut (increased intestinal permeability) are closely related but distinct conditions that can contribute to symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, and brain fog. While IBS affects an estimated 15–20% of the population, research suggests that some people with IBS may also have underlying SIBO. This guide explains the differences between IBS, SIBO, and leaky gut, their symptoms, possible causes, diagnosis, and evidence-based solution options. What is IBS? IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder where normal gut function is disrupted without any visible structural damage to the digestive tract. Doctors diagnose IBS based on clinical symptoms and […]
The Bacteria Akkermansia
The Bacteria Akkermansia Akkermansia muciniphila is a relatively newly discovered bacterium that lives in the intestinal mucosa. In recent years, researchers have drawn attention to several links between ill health and the low prevalence of Akkermansia bacteria in the body. Above all, the intestinal mucosa is important for our immune system. Akkermansia helps to strengthen this protective mucus layer. In other words, this means that the bacterium may strengthen the body's immune system. In addition, several studies have shown how a reduced incidence of Akkermansia coincides with increased body weight. Therefore, if levels of Akkermansia is low, it is worthwhile following any dietary guidance that could facilitate the growth of Akkermansia. The possibility of producing a probiotic preparation of Akkermansia […]

What Is SIBO? Symptoms, Causes and the Connection to Gut Health
Share this article skip render: ucaddon_social_share_buttons What is bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine? SIBO, or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, means that there are abnormally high levels of bacteria in the small intestine. Because the small intestine is primarily designed for nutrient absorption and has a much thinner mucus layer than the large intestine, bacterial overgrowth can affect both intestinal function and the immune system. In this article, we explain what SIBO is, why bacteria can move into the small intestine, which symptoms may occur, and how stress, intestinal motility and the gut’s natural protective mechanisms are connected. What is SIBO? SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and refers to an abnormal overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. […]
