How do you heal gut lining after SIBO?

Once SIBO is successfully cleared, mucosal healing is essential to repair the tight junctions and support the rapid cellular turnover of the gut wall. Clinically-backed mucosal repair agents include L-Glutamine, an amino acid that serves as the primary fuel for enterocytes, and Zinc L-Carnosine, which stabilizes tight junctions and protects the mucosal barrier. Additionally, soothing mucilaginous herbs like Marshmallow Root and Slippery Elm help coat and protect the inflamed lining. Supporting the immune system with beneficial yeasts, such as Saccharomyces boulardii, can also stimulate secretory IgA production, which protects against future overgrowths.
