We received a sunshine story from one of our customers that we'd like to share: 

I’ve been taking Dysbio-GI for almost a month – one jar – and I must say my stomach feels much better. I was in Asia (China and Vietnam) a lot earlier this year and I believe I picked up some unpleasant creatures in my stomach/intestines. I thought I had IBS because I felt so bad, and my stomach was acting very strange, but now it feels good.

DysBio-GI is one of the best products on the market for reducing fungus, candida, unwanted bacteria, parasites, or other harmful microorganisms in the digestive tract. It contains zinc and vitamin B1, which are essential for the production of stomach acid, which in turn is the first defense against harmful microorganisms reaching the gut. Both zinc and vitamin B1 have been shown to be deficient in a large portion of the population. There is a condition called SIBO that Dysbio-GI can positively affect. SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, which means that the number of gut bacteria in the upper part of the small intestine is higher than normal. SIBO can negatively affect nutrient absorption due to the altered gut flora and can also lead to digestive issues like chronic diarrhea and difficulty digesting and absorbing fat. Normally, the peristalsis of the small intestine moves the contents through the intestinal tract toward the colon. If this function is impaired, causing a prolonged passage time, if there is too little stomach acid, if the intestinal villi are damaged, or if the pancreas or gallbladder secretions are not functioning properly, the risk for SIBO increases. Passage time for individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases and SIBO is significantly longer than for those with inflammatory bowel diseases without SIBO. SIBO is also common among individuals with Crohn’s disease. SIBO is also associated with liver diseases, which improve when bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine is reduced. SIBO can lead to IBS symptoms. Individuals with SIBO may develop increased intolerance to carbohydrates due to reduced enzyme activity in the small intestine, which causes the carbohydrates to pass through the small intestine undigested and instead ferment further down the gut. SIBO can also cause deficiencies in vitamin B12, vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E, while folate and K-vitamin are typically found in normal or elevated levels since the bacteria synthesize folate and K-vitamin. Signs of SIBO can include vitamin deficiency, bloating in the gastrointestinal area after meals, fatty stools (due to not digesting and absorbing fats), diarrhea, low levels of the protein albumin in the blood, weight loss, or, for some, a very strong sugar craving.
