If you’re struggling with constipation and bloating no matter how much water you drink or fiber you eat, methane overgrowth in your gut could be the real problem.

The episode focuses on methane overgrowth in the gut, highlighting how methanogens produce methane, which can slow digestion and exacerbate symptoms. Tara explains the importance of proper testing, both for methane and thyroid issues, to identify the real cause of gut discomfort.

The discussion explores why standard stool tests often miss methane overgrowth and shared practical steps for effective diagnosis and symptom relief.

In this episode:

  • What methane overgrowth actually is and why it causes constipation
  • The difference between methane in the colon and methane-dominant SIBO
  • Why so many women are never tested properly
  • Why bloating patterns can give us clues about what's really going on
  • Why fiber isn't the problem (even if it currently makes you feel worse)
  • The connection I often see between sluggish thyroid function and methane overgrowth
