So, today . . . let's continue with the dangers of an "Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth" . . .
Now . . . as we know . . .
SIBO - is associated with "diarrhea" . . . due to excess "hydrogen" production in the "small" intestine
While IMO - is more commonly linked to constipation . . . due to HIGH "methane" production and levels in the "gut".
And many times when a "breath test" is taken for diagnosis . . . BOTH levels are indicated as high!!
But . . . SIBO is the illness that is treated.
Okay . . . so, what "diseases" can occur "IF" . . . IMO isn't treated???
Well . . . we would see . . .
Periodontitis
Brain abscess
Vaginosis
Diverticulosis
Multiple Sclerosis
Obesity
Colorectal cancer
IBS
and IBD
Now . . . don't get me wrong . . .
We DO need these little "methanogens" and "archaea" in the "LARGE" intestine . . .
Remember what I told you yesterday . . .
The "archaea" bacteria (1) produces "hydrogen" . . . as a "waste material" when breaking down our food
And "archaea" bacteria (2) produces "methane" . . . to get rid of the "waste material" hydrogen . . . from Archaea (1)
And with this . . . this "hydrogen" is eliminated from the body via "BURPING" or "PASSING GAS THROUGH THE RECTUM" . . . in other words . . . "FARTING"!!!!!
So . . . that's why it's "normal" to have a little burping or passing "gas"!!!
And the "average" person should produce about 1 - 4 pints of "gas" per day . . .
And "pass" gas via burping or farting . . . 14 times per day
Okay . . . so, how and why would the body's "archaea" made TOO MUCH hydrogen???
Well . . . simply put . . . this WESTERN DIET we all love so much!!!!!
You see . . . eating . . .
Simple sugars like in fruits and some vegetables, honey and agave nectar
Lactose in dairy products
Fructans in gluten products like grains
Galactans found in some legumes
All cause "archaea" to make "hydrogen" normally . . .
This is the "fermenting process" . . .
BUT . . . when we add this Western diet into the mix . . . we're adding "refined" sugars and carbohydrate . . . synthetics . . . edible vaccines . . . fillers and CARCINOGEN into the body . . .
And with this . . . the "archaea bacteria" . . . produces TOO MUCH hydrogen trying to break down that food . . . and NOW . . . "methanogens" have to work OVERTIME to eliminate the extra hydrogen in the large intestine.
And add to that . . . if Archaea (1) and Archaea (2) . . . "ESCAPE" from the "large" intestine and travels to the "small" intestine . . .
All of the above illness can occur
So, tomorrow . . . let's figure out how to fix this mess of TOO MUCH BURPING AND FARTING!!!
