Are you the 1 in 5 Canadians living with Irritable bowel syndrome?

Have you ever heard of SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth)?

With gut disturbances be it gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea & even abdominal pain on the rise, more & more people are turning to natural solutions for their GIT (gastrointestinal tract) symptoms.

Probiotics are one of the most commonly prescribed supplements for restoring healthy flora in your intestines.

Take a look at pharmacist & naturopath Dr. Shabita Teja’s 3 minute appearance on Global TV Health Matters segment discussing benefits of probiotics & fermented foods especially for those with GI conditions like IBS.

Remember if you have SIBO, probiotics can actually worsen symptoms if you don’t eradicate the “bad bacteria” first. For this reason & many others, it’s always important to talk to a healthcare provider like your naturopath and family physician before starting a new supplement or when changing your treatment regimen.
