In short the inability to digest proteins is a skill issue, and one you can out-train too. This directly ties into stomach acid, which is our first defense against most bacteria, meaning low output drives the bacterial overgrowth behind many SIBO symptoms in men.

Why Is Poor Protein Digestion a Skill Issue?

In short the inability to digest proteins is a skill issue,

And one you can out-train too:

  • Betaine hcl + enzymes to bridge the gap
  • DGL + Aloe vera to soothe/rebuild the stomach lining and help restore natural production
  • Sulforaphane in case there is any H pylori or related damage
  • Mastic gum (again if you think h pylori is an issue, plus fun to chew so may aswell)
  • LOWER STRESS, seriously stress drops stomach acid production drastically. yoga nidra, meditation, walking in nature.

How Does Low Stomach Acid Lead to SIBO?

The amount of time this leads to SIBO is massive, as stomach acid is our first defense against most bacteria. If you want to understand the mechanics behind low stomach acid driving overgrowth, this is the exact pathway worth tracking.

Can Stomach Lining Damage Cause Anxiety?

But also the direct inflammation of a sensitive/damaged stomach lining can cause feelings of anxiety or stress.
