6 months ago

- Identify Your Gut Type to Personalize Treatment Bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) reacts to high-fiber foods, may benefit from lower-fiber options, and is linked to motility issues. Fungal overgrowth (Candida) reacts to sugar and refined carbs, often showing white tongue, rashes, or watery eyes, and thrives on low-carb, vegetable-heavy diets.

Additional tools include short elemental diets, low-histamine adjustments, and avoiding dietary over-restriction to reduce stress on the immune system.
