Publisher's summary

A guide to recognizing and overcoming SIBO, with a 21-day plan to stop feeling bloated, start losing weight, and fix your gut.

Even as millions of Americans suspect they're suffering from a gastrointestinal disorder, they may spend years in pain before they figure out just what's going on with their gut. And while irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is commonly diagnosed, SIBO, a disorder with basically all the same symptoms, is not. 

So, what is SIBO? The acronym stands for Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth, a disorder in which bacteria that usually grow in other parts of the gut start to proliferate and take up residence in the small intestine. This causes a whole confluence of symptoms, ranging from bloating and cramps, to uncontrollable weight gain or weight loss, to even malnutrition when the bacteria eat up vital nutrients from our food. Even though several studies have shown that as many as 84 percent of patients with IBS also tested positive for SIBO, it remains understudied and underdiagnosed. 

After decades of dealing with debilitating symptoms with no relief, Shivan Sarna's life changed when she was diagnosed with SIBO. As she eliminated her symptoms one by one through lifestyle changes and help from her physicians, she started to synthesize her personal experiences with Western and naturopathic medicine and dedicate herself to advocating for those suffering from SIBO, or those who think they could be. 

Now, in this groundbreaking book, Shivan shares her step-by-step plan to treat and even cure SIBO, with information on what to eat and what to avoid, how to build a routine to manage your symptoms, and how to work with your doctor to find supplements and medications that promote healing. Shivan also includes her 21-day SIBO Specific Diet, which includes more than 40 recipes to put you on the path to recovery. Whether you're SIBO-diagnosed or SIBO-suspicious, this empowering guide will change the way you approach and think about your gut and overall health. 

This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of SIBO-friendly recipes. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fantastic Book - Causes Of & Treatments For SIBO

This 2021 book is the most cutting edge information on SIBO and how to treat it. I have read articles all over the web and am finally sticking with Shivan Sarna (along with Allison Siebecker and Mark Pimentel) as the most credible source of SIBO info going forward.

This book is written by a former patient and now SIBO expert, so it's very easy to understand and follow. I read it in a day.

It's all you need to know on what we know so far about SIBO. I wasted a lot of time reading naturopathic blogs and other articles that were not accurate. It's a new and confusing topic and everyone in the field is doing the best they can, but I think this book cuts through it all and delivers the truth.

A must read for any one with irritable bowel syndrome

If you have IBS this is the first book to get because more than likely it’s SIBO. It is written in plain easy to understand language and provides actionable steps

Very Informative

This book was very informative book. I'm going to buy the book to highlight the information on what people take for pain and bloating and what not to eat and what calms SIBO in-between Sibo treatments.

This really is the golden book on SIBO/IMO!

The information in this book is more up-to-date and research-based than any of the other gut books I've listened to. Its not just opinions on gut health like other books, this is all real factual, science-backed info. You can tell that she has learned an enormous amount from the world-renowned Dr. Mark Pimentel, plus Dr. Amanda Sibecker and others, which is phenomenal!! And their research and clinical findings are reflected in this book. Nothing is anecdotal; it's based on actual scientific studies.

Humanity's knowledge of gut health is still in the dark ages, but thanks to GI researchers (Dr. Mark Pimentel and others), new research is coming out every 6 months - 1 year. So to have a book that reflects that new research is a big deal. I hope the author keeps this book updated as new revelations come out.

But if not, keep up with the latest on her YouTube channel "SIBO SOS", and specifically watch the interviews with Dr. Mark Pimentel (one of the world's leading gut health researchers). I've never learned so much from a single source ever!


For publisher: there is a mistake in the audio: in the chapter "your week by week plan and expected results", repeated audio and edited audio in the wrong spot.

Very Helpful!

With this guidance, I now have some options I can try.
Very good information that I can understand.

Bad narrative

I love Soneela Nankani, but this is not type of books that she should narrated, she is just good for stories, it was hard to listen
