Presenters respond to questions from the audience regarding the Elemental Diet. A mixture of data, clinical experiences and outcomes and case examples are covered.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth can create an inflammatory state in the gut that reduces the ability to digest dietary histamines. For those with histamine intolerance, this can trigger more inflammation both in the gut and systemically, leading to a variety of histamine-mediated symptoms. In this presentation we will discuss how histamine dysregulation and intolerance in those with SIBO is assessed and managed in this highly sensitive population.

We can use food elimination to reduce the severity of the symptoms one experiences but elimination rarely addresses the root cause of the issue. In this discussion, we will look at how a number of physiological imbalances can lead to various food intolerance with a special focus on histamine, sulfur, salicylates and FODMAPs. We will discuss how to assess for these types of food intolerances, when to apply elimination strategies, and how they can either help, or hinder outcome.
