About Me

Hi, I’m Emily, the owner and author of this website and a SIBO patient.

I was diagnosed with SIBO—that’s small intestinal bacterial overgrowth—in December 2017 after dealing with unexplained digestive symptoms for ten years. I started this website to share what I have learned from years of reading, researching, and experiencing this condition first-hand. For me, finding reliable and useful information about dealing with SIBO and IBS has been a challenging and often confusing experience. I hope that in sharing my experience and the resources I’ve found, I can spread SIBO awareness and help you keep up to date on the latest research and thinking.

When I’m not reading up on the latest gut-related health study or debating the merits of antibiotics versus herbals, I love to do yoga and meditate, relax at the Russian bath house, read outside in the sun, and hang out with my cat. I go camping often to take advantage of Northern California’s natural beauty. I’m a native Californian living and working full-time in San Francisco. 

I am not a medical practitioner of any kind, please see my disclaimer here.

I love hearing from others dealing with SIBO, IBS, and digestive diseases…feel free to contact me and say hi!
