The difference between SIBO, IMO, or SIFO
SIBO isn’t one condition — it’s a category.
Hydrogen SIBO, methane overgrowth (IMO), hydrogen sulfide SIBO, and SIFO behave differently, relapse differently, and respond to different strategies.
This is why
Fibre helps some people and wrecks others
Probiotics are life-changing for one person and disastrous for another
Standard protocols often fail
If treatment hasn’t worked, it may be misclassification.
Gut health isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing the right thing for the right mechanism.
