There is hope and the future looks bright.

Dr. Allison Siebecker and I had the honor of hosting Dr. Pimentel for our annual research recap and review. He gave a presentation and answered our questions. He shared important research from the annual Digestive Disease Week (DDW) held in May 2024. 

Here are just a few of the in-depth topics Dr. Pimentel covered:

  • New research explained for SIBO/IMO/IBS
  • Bloating and SIBO relates to it
  • Organisms causing SIBO/IMO and ISO (Intestinal Sulfide Overproduction) in the small and large intestine
  • Can NAC help Rifaximin treatment for SIBO?
  • The great Glucose vs Lactulose controversy
  • Ozempic/Wegovy/Mounjaro - effect on SIBO and SIBO testing
That is Dr. Pimentel, Dr. Allison Siebecker and me, Shivan Sarna above and Dr. Rezaie - you will see us chatting at the start of the interview then we hand the mic over to Dr. Pimentel... 

If you have gut issues, like SIBO, IMO, and IBS, you need to watch this free presentation. It is action-packed with phenomenal information and updates from the incredible Dr. Pimentel. Dr. Allison Siebecker and I are so honored to co-host these updates for you from Dr. Pimentel and we so appreciate his generosity with his time.

I hope you will take the time to listen and learn from this incredible thought leader. There is hope and the future looks bright.


Drs. Pimentel and team are the top SIBO researchers in the world, making new discovers every year. We have them to thank for...
  • Identifying food poisoning as a primary cause of SIBO/IBS
  • Creating the test to diagnose SIBO/IBS from food poisoning (IBS Smart)
  • Identifying the bugs that are overgrown in each type of SIBO/IMO
  • Reclasifying methane-SIBO as IMO (intestinal methanogen overgrowth)
  • Pioneering treatments for SIBO, including: Rifaximin, Rifaximin + Neomycin, the Elemental Diet, and Prokinetics
  • Creating the Cedars-Sinai low-fermentation diet
  • Creating the hydrogen sulfide breath test Trio Smart (which tests all 3 gases: hydrogen, methane and hydrogen sulfide)
  • Sequencing the small intestine microbiome
