Myth-Busting Gut Symptoms: IBS, SIBO, IMO, ISO & More — Live Q&A with Dr. Mark Pimentel

Описание: Why do gut symptoms seem so unpredictable? And what do conditions like IBS, SIBO, IMO, and ISO actually mean for your symptoms and treatment?

In this myth-busting session, Dr. Mark Pimentel, Executive Director of the MAST Program at Cedars-Sinai, breaks down the most common misunderstandings around gut symptoms and shares new insights from recent research, including how breath testing, biomarkers, motility, microbial gases, and post-infectious mechanisms fit together.

Using real patient patterns and published data, Dr. Pimentel explains:
► What’s really behind gut symptoms
► Why methane-producing organisms (IMO) cause constipation
► How hydrogen sulfide (ISO) relates to diarrhea, urgency, and fluctuating symptoms
► Why three-gas testing matters and how each gas predicts different symptom patterns
► How hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide levels guide treatment choices
► When to use rifaximin, rifaximin + neomycin, or rifaximin + bismuth
► When an elemental diet may be appropriate
► The role of prokinetics and how motility medications prevent relapse
► How GLP-1 medications (Ozempic®, Wegovy®, etc.) can lead to SIBO by slowing motility
► Updates on new therapies

Plus, during the LIVE Q&A, Dr. Pimentel answered questions about diet, brain fog, adhesions, B12 issues, relapse patterns, antidepressants and motility, mold exposure, meal spacing, and more.
