If your gut always feels bloated, uncomfortable, or unpredictable, you may have something called SIBO — short for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth.

At NXTLVL Health, we specialise in helping people understand and naturally treat SIBO using evidence-based naturopathic medicine, functional testing, and personalised care plans.

You don't need to live with constant discomfort. Let's help you get to the root cause and find lasting relief.

What Is SIBO?

SIBO happens when bacteria that should live in your large intestine start growing in your small intestine instead. This bacterial overgrowth can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms and interfere with proper digestion and nutrient absorption.

Symptoms of SIBO include:

  • Bloating (often worse after eating)
  • Abdominal pain or discomfort
  • Gas and belching
  • Diarrhoea, constipation, or both
  • Fatigue and brain fog
  • Feeling full quickly
  • Food intolerances
  • Nutrient deficiencies
  • Histamine intolerance
