275: Why Your Gut Never Recovered After Food Poisoning (SIBO & IBS) - with Lindsey Parsons

This episode dives deep into the relationship between food poisoning, gut motility, microbiome dysfunction, chronic bloating, inflammation, and recurring digestive symptoms. Lindsey explains why many people continue struggling with SIBO despite repeated rounds of treatment and discusses the importance of identifying root causes rather than simply managing symptoms. Josh and Lindsey also explore advanced testing options such as the IBS Smart Test, stool microbiome testing, and breath testing while discussing overlooked contributors including mold exposure, low stomach acid, pancreatic insufficiency, adhesions, hypothyroidism, and immune dysfunction. One of the most fascinating parts of the episode centers around fasting and the ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet. Lindsey shares her experience of seeing autoimmune markers associated with post-infectious IBS normalize after implementing fasting protocols, opening an important discussion about immune regulation and gut healing. Whether you're dealing with IBS, SIBO, chronic bloating, microbiome imbalances, inflammation, or unresolved digestive symptoms, this episode provides a powerful root-cause perspective on what may be driving your gut issues and what steps you can take toward lasting recovery.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Post-Infectious IBS & Autoimmune Mechanisms SIBO Root Causes & Recurrence Food Poisoning as a Trigger for Chronic Gut Disease Testing (IBS Smart, Stool Testing, Breath Testing) Mold Toxicity & Hidden Drivers of Gut Symptoms Treatment Approaches (Prokinetics, Antimicrobials, Elemental Diet) Broader Chronic Disease & Food Supply Discussion Other SIBO Root Causes (Adhesions, Thyroid, Pancreatic Issues)   More from Lindsey Parsons: Website: highdeserthealthcoaching.com Instagram: high.desert.health Facebook: High Desert Health Youtube: @highdeserthealth X: @HDesertHealth Listen to Lindsey's Podcast: The Perfect Stool Podcast Get Lindsey's Products: perfectstool.com   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?
