In this Q&A Clarity Session of The Histamine Well Podcast, Joanne answers a common and often confusing question: Should I take antibiotics for SIBO?

The truth is—it depends.

In this episode, Joanne breaks down the two distinct patient scenarios she commonly sees in clinical practice. She explains when antibiotics may be a practical and supportive option, especially for those with lifestyle limitations, and when a deeper, more comprehensive approach may be necessary to address the root causes of SIBO.

You’ll learn:

When antibiotics can be helpful—and when they may not be enough
Why SIBO often keeps coming back
The role of underlying drivers like gut motility, bile flow, and nervous system health
What a natural, layered approach to healing looks like
How to determine the best path forward for your unique situation
This episode offers a balanced, practical perspective—helping you move beyond one-size-fits-all solutions and toward a more personalized approach to gut healing.
