Together, we created these resources to give you the guidance and support we wish we had when we started our own healing journeys. We’ve both been where you are now, and we know exactly how overwhelming it can feel. But we also know there’s a way forward — a clear path to healing that we’re excited to share with you.

Dr. Siebecker is the 2021 GastroANP Lifetime Achievement award winner (from her peers) and has treated SIBO exclusively for 15 years. She is in an instructor of advanced gastroenterology and NUNM and co-created the SIBO treatment algorithm used by practitioners worldwide. She's not teaching theory. She's teaching what actually works—the interpretation methods she uses with real patients who finally got better and practitioners around the world.

Shivan Sarna, founder of SIBO SOS® and author of Healing SIBO. After a lifetime of digestive problems, she was diagnosed with SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) in 2015. Shivan was so excited to finally have a name for the symptoms that made me miserable – but she was quickly very frustrated by how hard it was to get access to reliable SIBO information, or even an appointment with a doctor who had experience treating SIBO. She set out to get answers about SIBO for herself – but along the way, she met thousands of people who had the same challenges.
No. Dr. Allison Siebecker explains how you can order a lactulose breath tests yourself (no doctor required) and complete the test at home.
The masterclass breaks down which gas types are most commonly tied to constipation, diarrhea, or mixed symptoms—so you can choose the right testing approach instead of guessing.
This is exactly why the class exists. Labs use standardized criteria that can miss real cases, and Dr. Siebecker teaches how she interprets results differently.
