About BeatSIBO
This site exists because the search results for these conditions are composed almost entirely of people with something to sell you.
The problem this is trying to solve
Search any of the questions this site covers and you will find clinics selling consultations and brands selling their own supplement lines. Both write with total confidence. Neither can afford to tell you that the diagnostics are contested, that the guideline rates most of its own recommendations as resting on very low quality evidence, or that specialists are currently arguing about whether the main test should be used at all.
We can say those things, because we are not selling a consult.
Who writes this
BeatSIBO editorial team. Not clinicians, and this site says so.
That last part is not a disclaimer, it is a positioning statement. In this niche, everyone implying clinical authority is also monetising clinical authority. We would rather tell you plainly what we are: people who read the sources carefully, publish the working, and say when something is unknown. Why there is no clinical reviewer listed on this site.
What we bring that a search result does not
Every source labelled with how strong it actually is, every price carrying the date we checked it, and a willingness to write down which parts of this field are unsettled. We also pick our subjects from what patients are genuinely stuck on rather than from a keyword tool, which is why some obvious-looking pages do not exist here. How we decide that, and its limits.
