SIBO Treatment · Cypress & Houston, TX

SIBO Treatment That Looks Past the Bloating to the Cause

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth is one of the most common, and most misdiagnosed, causes of chronic bloating. We test for it directly instead of guessing.

Get Started

The Sanative Approach to SIBO

We run a SIBO breath test to see whether bacterial overgrowth is actually driving your symptoms, then treat the overgrowth directly with a plan built to prevent recurrence, not just clear it once.

Bloating labeled as “IBS” without ever testing for SIBO is one of the most common gaps in typical gut-health care. We close that gap with direct, confirmatory testing before treatment starts.

Common Signs of SIBO

Worsening Bloating

Gets worse as the day goes on

Abdominal Pain

Cramping or discomfort after meals

Excess Gas

Frequent gas or belching

Irregular Bowels

Diarrhea, constipation, or both alternating

Spreading Sensitivities

A growing list of food triggers

Misdiagnosed IBS

Diagnosed with IBS but treatment hasn’t worked

Why Patients Choose Sanative

Breath Testing

Confirms SIBO and identifies hydrogen vs. methane type.

Type-Specific Treatment

Antimicrobial protocol matched to your SIBO type.

Motility Review

Identifies what predisposed you to SIBO in the first place.

Recurrence Prevention

A dedicated phase built specifically to stop it coming back.

SIBO Is Often Labeled “IBS” Instead

The Typical Path

Bloating and irregular digestion get labeled IBS, treated with fiber, probiotics, or antispasmodics, with no breath test ever ordered to check for bacterial overgrowth.

The Sanative Approach

We run a SIBO breath test to see whether bacterial overgrowth is actually driving your symptoms, then treat the overgrowth directly, not just manage the symptoms around it.

How We Confirm SIBO

Testing determines exactly what’s happening and which type of SIBO you have.

Lactulose or Glucose Breath Test

Measures hydrogen and methane gas over 2-3 hours to confirm overgrowth and type.

Comprehensive Stool Analysis

Checks for dysbiosis, parasites, and digestive markers alongside SIBO.

Food Sensitivity Review

Untreated SIBO often causes secondary sensitivities that resolve once treated.

Motility Risk Factors

Reviewing history for prior infections, surgery, or thyroid issues that predispose to SIBO.

Your Treatment Timeline

Digestive enzymes, motility support, and a food reintroduction plan.

4

Prevent Recurrence

Identify and treat what predisposed you to SIBO in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions

IBS is a symptom-based diagnosis, while SIBO is a confirmed cause: bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. Research suggests a large share of IBS cases may actually be undiagnosed SIBO.

A breath test measuring hydrogen and methane gas over 2 to 3 hours after drinking a lactulose or glucose solution. It’s non-invasive and can be done from home or in-office.

It can, especially if the underlying cause such as slow motility or a prior infection isn’t addressed. Treatment includes a prevention phase specifically for this reason.

Yes. We see patients virtually across Texas and Florida, as well as in person in Cypress and Houston, TX.

We do not accept insurance. Costs and options are reviewed in detail during your discovery call.

Stop Guessing, Get Tested

Start with a breath test and a plan built around your actual SIBO type, not a generic gut protocol.
