Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth: New Tricks For An Old Relic – Dr. Coka Yip
The focus of this presentation was Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth (IMO), which is a condition that affects the digestive system. Methanogens are microorganisms (archaea) that produce methane and IMO is caused by an overgrowth of this archaea in the intestines. We will learn about the symptoms, such as bloating and gas, and how it can affect digestion. During this presentation we discussed dietary and lifestyle changes that can help manage IMO and promote a healthier gut. By understanding and addressing this condition, we can improve our digestive health and overall well-being for those living with this condition.
