57. Gut Microbiome & Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO | Intestinal Sulfide Overgrowth Explained
J
8:29Joanne KennedyHOST
They don't need sulfate at all.
J
8:31Joanne KennedyHOST
Instead, they break down the sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine, which they get from protein, This group includes Citrobacter, Klebsiella, Proteus species, E. coli, Clostridium species, and Enterobacter species.
J
8:47Joanne KennedyHOST
Now, that's not an exhaustive list.
J
8:51Joanne KennedyHOST
Researchers keep identifying more species capable of doing this, but those are the common ones flagged on a comprehensive digestive stool analysis through a functional lab.
Ep.241: Why "Normal" Fertility Labs Don't Mean You're Fine
J
18:44Jane LevesqueHOST
They're in the green, but they're not below detection limit.
J
18:48Jane LevesqueHOST
Some of the autoimmune trigger markers, uh, whether that's Klebsiella or Proteus or Fusobacterium species like this person has, I want it at ze- like I do not want any in the system.
J
19:01Jane LevesqueHOST
They're very highly associated with developing autoimmune disease.
J
19:04Jane LevesqueHOST
Um, I don't wanna see any, uh, Candida, and he doesn't have any, and definitely no bacterial pathogens or H. pylori, and again, those things are all clear, which is great.
Tiny Rocks, Huge Pain: Kidney Stones

17:15Priyanka WaliHOST
Struvites are made of magnesium ammonium phosphate.
P
17:19Priyanka WaliHOST
And there's certain bacteria called Proteus species, for example.
P
17:23Priyanka WaliHOST
They can form urinary tract infections, and if those UTIs get really gnarly, they can quickly grow these struvite stones, which if they're not treated, can become extremely large and usually require surgery to remove.
H
17:38Hari KondaboluHOST
Wow.
Complicated UTI and Acute Pyelonephritis
S
0:36speaker_0HOST
Most infections start in the lower urinary tract and travel upward through the ureters.
S
0:41speaker_0HOST
E. coli is the most common organism, but other organisms include Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, and other Enterobacterioles.
S
0:49speaker_0HOST
Candida can also cause urinary infection, especially in patients with diabetes, prolonged antibiotic exposure, hospitalization, or urinary catheters.
S

The important distinction is between a localized urinary infection and a complicated UTI.
How to reduce triglycerides to 60 mg/dl or less
W
6:33William DavisHOST
And what that means... is if you have a disrupted gastrointestinal microbiome, specifically an overproliferation of what are called gram-negative proteobacteria.
W
6:44William DavisHOST
These are fecal microbes like E. coli, Klebsiella, Campylobacter, Citrobacter, Pseudomonas, Proteus, Serratia.
W
6:54William DavisHOST
These are microbes that tend to become overproliferated in the colon because of our exposure, overexposure, antibiotics and other factors like glyphosate and other herbicides.
W
7:04William DavisHOST
So there's an expansion of these proteobacteria in the colon, and frighteningly, in an amazing proportion of people, about half the U.S. population, these fecal proteobacteria microbes have been allowed to ascend into the small intestine, the 24 feet of small intestine.
The Wellness Hour - Female urological health: leaks, infections and treatment options

And what it does is that, uh, it contains, uh, killed off or inactivated, uh, bacteria.
T
10:31Tricia QuahGUEST
So the usual bacteria that cause the infections are, for example, the E. coli bacteria, Proteus, Klebsiella, Enterococcus.
T
10:37Tricia QuahGUEST
So this vaccine contains inactivated bacteria where it is sprayed into someone's mouth.
T

It trains the immune cells in the mouth and the gut to produce antibodies-
An Endocrinologist Got Sick and Her Own Specialty Couldn't Fix Her - Dr. Cassie Smith
C
23:35Cassie SmithGUEST
Let's just see what's going on." Lo and behold, my gut was the typical Hashimoto's gut.
C
23:39Cassie SmithGUEST
Meaning I had bacterial overgrowth of Klebsiella and Proteus and all the bacteria we see in people with Hashimoto's.
C
23:45Cassie SmithGUEST
And he explained to me how those bacteria actually further attack your thyroid and they down-regulate the hormones that, like estrogen and progesterone.
C
23:54Cassie SmithGUEST
And he just-- he explained to me exactly what was going on in my gut and how he knew different bacteria do different things in your gut, and then how that affects the production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

That's what they eat.
C
31:04Cassie SmithGUEST
They eat all the sugar and all the big unprocessed food.
C
31:07Cassie SmithGUEST
So the bad bacteria, the Proteus and the Klebsiella, the ones that I mentioned that actually cause disease, they go crazy.
C
31:13Cassie SmithGUEST
They love eating that food in your small intestine that couldn't be digested in your stomach because you didn't chew your food, you didn't sit down when you ate, you were chronically stressed, you're on a medication, you didn't get enough sleep, all these things.
