Hi Friends,
Have you or a loved one struggled with constipation for years and wondered why nothing seems to work?
Many of my patients come to me feeling frustrated because they've done everything they were told to do, yet they still struggle with constipation and bloating.
Sometimes the problem is caused by an often-overlooked root cause that many doctors are not familiar with.
It's related to SIBO, yet in many ways it's completely different.
This is what inspired me to create a video dedicated to Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth (IMO), also known as Methane SIBO.
What can cows teach us about methane in the gut?
Can methane affect how you extract calories from food? Could this be one reason some people struggle to lose weight?
What's the fascinating relationship between hydrogen and methane in the gut?
And why do some people continue to struggle until this hidden piece of the puzzle is finally addressed?
These are just a few of the intriguing questions I answer in this video.
The most exciting part? IMO is often a very treatable condition. For some people, finally identifying methane as the root cause can be the missing piece of the puzzle after years of constipation, bloating, and frustration.
If you've struggled with constipation, bloating, or feel like you've tried everything without lasting success, I hope this video provides some answers and a clearer path forward.

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Chips
A delicious, nutrient-dense alternative to regular chips—rich in beta-carotene, fiber, and natural sweetness!
Ingredients (Serves 2–3):
1 very large sweet potato (about 12–14 oz), scrubbed and thinly sliced (1/8-inch thickness recommended)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder (if on a SIBO diet, substitute with Italian seasoning)
1/3 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425 F.
Slice sweet potato into thin, uniform chips—aim for ~1/8 inch thick for best crispiness.
In a bowl, toss slices with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange chips in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet—avoid overlapping for even cooking.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Check frequently after the 12-minute mark—edges can brown quickly!
Remove once golden and crisp. Enjoy!
I hope you enjoy my latest video on IMO and learn something new. If you know someone who has been searching for answers to chronic constipation or bloating, please consider sharing it with them. 🧡
Warm regards,
