I wanted to share with you today an interview that was performed between Shivan Sarna, Dr. Allison Siebecker, and myself regarding the article I wrote a few weeks ago entitled “Is Sibo a Real Condition?” This was my response to a number criticisms of SIBO as a condition and whether or not there is efficacy regarding SIBO testing, SIBO treatment and whether or not SIBO is a real condition or is something that is somewhat fictitious. The nuts and bolts are in the article that I wrote but they wanted to interview me on the article, ask some questions, have a dialogue and I figured you might benefit from and enjoy listening in or watching the video. https://drruscio.com/is-sibo-real-with-shivan-sarna-and-dr-allison-siebecker/
