Self-Medicating
Using antibiotics, supplements, or extreme diets without professional supervision can create new imbalances instead of solving the underlying problem.

Eliminating too many foods can:

Cause nutritional deficiencies
Make it harder to stick to a long-term plan
The key is to choose wisely, not to stop eating.
Ignoring Stress
Stress directly impacts digestion and intestinal motility. Chronic stress can slow gut movement and worsen SIBO symptoms[^1].
Stopping Treatment Too Early
Feeling better does not always mean you’re fully healed. Ending treatment prematurely can increase the chance of relapse.

Without a tailored diet, symptoms often persist. Eating the right foods alongside your treatment helps reduce symptoms and supports recovery.
