SIBO IS NOT A GUT ISSUE – IT’S A THYROID ISSUE 〰️ 🤯Bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine is caused by hypothyroidism (Lauritano, et al. 20017). 〰️ 👉🏻Unfortunately like most conditions, it is treated as its own things without much consideration to how one system affects another. 〰️ 🔑Thyroid hormone regulates ALL metabolic processes – every single system and cell within the body. 〰️ 🔑Every cell in the body has thyroid receptors that bind and take in the active thyroid hormone Free T3. THIS INCLUDES THE CELLS THAT LINE THE DIGESTIVE TRACT. 〰️ 💎 In fact, 20% of thyroid hormone is converted to T3 in the gut, however if the gut flora is disrupted and is not functioning up to par, this conversion is reduced. 〰️ Low levels of thyroid hormone have a significant impact on the digestive system from decreased gastric emptying and peristalsis, dyspepsia, GERD and more…. ❌Your stomach will not make enough HCL ❌Your pancreas will slow down its gastric enzymes ❌Your gall bladder will produce less bile👉🏻everything will become suppressed! 〰️ 🤯🤯This chain reaction leads to altered gastric MOBILITY and MOTILITY, which leads to bacteria over growing in the small intestine. . . #selfinducedbacterialovergrowth #thyroidlife #hypothyroidismdiet #bacterialovergrowth #sibodiet #ihavesibo #stressinduced #smallintestinebacterialovergrowth #eastwesthealing #realfoodgangstas https://www.instagram.com/p/Btd6l17gpQS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ochbj8nb50j1
