5 Medications that Can be Causing Your SIBO or Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Welcome to Dr Hagmeyer's YouTube channel. Could your medication be contributing to SIBO, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, reflux, or food sensitivities? In this video, Dr. Hagmeyer explains how certain medications can disrupt normal gut motility, alter stomach acid levels, alter the gut microbiome, and create the perfect environment for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). While medications can be necessary and helpful, some may increase the risk of SIBO when they interfere with digestion, slow the migrating motor complex, reduce stomach acid, affect bile flow, or disturb the balance of bacteria in the gut. In this video, you’ll learn how medications such as: Proton pump inhibitors and acid blockers Antibiotics Opioid pain medications Antidepressants and antianxiety medications NSAIDs Steroids Birth control pills and hormone medications Diabetes medications Immunosuppressive medications may contribute to bacterial overgrowth, gut inflammation, poor digestion, and recurring SIBO symptoms. You’ll also learn why simply “killing bacteria” is not enough if the underlying reasons for SIBO are still present. Many people relapse because the root causes were never identified, including poor motility, low stomach acid, impaired bile flow, pancreatic insufficiency, hypothyroidism, mold exposure, chronic stress, post-infectious IBS, adhesions, or medication-related changes in the gut. At DrHagmeyer.com, we take a functional medicine approach to SIBO by looking deeper into why the gut environment became vulnerable in the first place. This may include advanced stool testing, breath testing, bloodwork, thyroid evaluation, inflammatory markers, nutrient status, and a careful review of medication history. If you have recurring SIBO, chronic bloating, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, brain fog, fatigue, histamine intolerance, or food reactions, this video will help you understand why your symptoms may keep coming back and what needs to be investigated. ✅ Schedule your free 15-minute consultation with Dr. Hagmeyer here: 👉🏻 https://www.drhagmeyer.com/15-minute-...
