Can you take DMN if you have hydrogen- or methane-dominant SIBO?Updated 5 months ago
DMN has not been specifically tested in SIBO. There are very few studies of supplements or other treatments for SIBO at this point, and there's still a huge need for more research.
That said, DMN may be beneficial in the context of SIBO for 2 reasons. First, it is a low FODMAP prebiotic, so it feeds the good gut bugs in a more gentle way. Second, the emerging research says that fiber is critical to recovery from SIBO. See PMID: 31043597.
When adding DMN in SIBO, it may be required to start at a low, tolerable dose and gently increase with time. Under the direction of your healthcare provider, consider starting at 1/2 teaspoon per day (or less) for a week and working your way up to the full serving size. Additionally, if you have underlying constipation it is often necessary to treat the underlying constipation first, which is discussed in another Help Desk post.
