Clinical Conversations with Karly Raven: Enhancing Clinical Outcomes in SIBO with Microbiome Insights

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) is a complex condition that requires a comprehensive, individualised approach to achieve long-term symptom resolution. While breath testing has traditionally been the gold standard for SIBO diagnosis, whole gut microbiome testing provides additional insights that can support clinical outcomes.

In this webinar, gut health naturopath Karly Raven will explore how MetaXplore gut microbiome testing can be effectively integrated into SIBO management. Clinicians will gain a deeper understanding of microbial imbalance patterns commonly observed in SIBO cases, including methane-producing species (linked to constipation and methane-dominant SIBO), hydrogen-sulphide-producing bacteria, and other dysbiotic trends that exacerbate symptoms.

Using real-world case studies, Karly will demonstrate how MetaXplore microbiome test insights inform personalised condition management strategies, including dietary modifications, supplementation, and gut microbiome restoration protocols. She will also address the key differences between SIBO breath testing and whole microbiome testing, clarifying misconceptions and highlighting the clinical advantages of metagenomic sequencing (MGS) for assessing microbial overgrowths.

In this one-hour webinar you will:

- Explore how whole gut microbiome testing complements SIBO breath testing and informs clinical decisions.
- Recognise specific microbiome imbalances through example case studies, including methane-producing, hydrogen-sulphide-producing and their impact on SIBO symptoms.
- Examine the differences between SIBO breath testing and metagenomic sequencing (MGS), including testing validity, limitations, and clinical applications.
- Utilise real-world case studies to develop effective dietary, lifestyle, and supplement interventions based on gut microbiome testing results.
- Learn how integrating microbiome testing with SIBO treatment improves long-term gut health, symptom resolution, and overall patient outcomes.

Clinicians will leave with actionable strategies to optimise SIBO management, improve patient outcomes, and make better-informed clinical decisions. This session is designed to equip health professionals with a multi-pronged, evidence-based approach to managing SIBO while maintaining a duty of care to assess the broader gut microbiome.

Whether you are currently using microbiome testing in your practice or looking to refine your approach, this session will provide valuable insights into enhancing your diagnostic accuracy, patient management efficacy, and long-term success with SIBO patients.
