Why Your Gut Symptoms Aren’t Getting Better (And What to Do About It)

If you’re dealing with chronic gut symptoms like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food reactions, brain fog, or anxiety, and nothing seems to help... you’re not alone.

Many people diagnosed with SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth), IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), or other functional gut disorders spend years cycling through specialized diets, supplements, and protocols with little relief. The problem isn’t effort or discipline.

It’s missing root causes.

That’s where the Cracking the SIBO Code Summit comes in.

Why SIBO and IBS Treatments Often Fail

Standard approaches to SIBO and IBS tend to focus on symptom suppression — antibiotics, antimicrobials, probiotics, or elimination diets — without addressing why the gut became vulnerable in the first place.

For many people, persistent gut symptoms are driven by:

Nervous system dysregulation and chronic stress

Low stomach acid and impaired bile flow

Poor gut motility and methane-dominant SIBO

Mold exposure and mycotoxins

Histamine intolerance and MCAS

Mitochondrial dysfunction and fatigue

Parasites, yeast overgrowth, and biofilms

Trauma, poor sleep, and circadian disruption

When these factors are ignored, SIBO becomes chronic and recurrent.

What Is the Cracking the SIBO Code Summit?

The Cracking the SIBO Code Summit is a free, 7-day online gut health event hosted by functional medicine nutritionist Angela Pifer.

It brings together experienced clinicians and researchers to explain why chronic gut symptoms persist, and what actually helps when standard protocols fail.

This summit goes beyond SIBO to explore the full gut–brain–immune–detox connection.

What You’ll Learn During the Summit

The Gut–Brain Axis & Nervous System: Chronic stress, trauma, and anxiety keep the gut in fight-or-flight mode, disrupting motility, digestion, and microbial balance. Nitric Oxide plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow, nervous system signaling, and gut motility, creating the foundation for true healing. Don’t miss Day 4’s special talk by Berkeley Life CSO Cathy Eason on harnessing Nitric Oxide to support gut–brain recovery.

Mold, Toxins & Chronic Inflammation: Environmental toxins and mold trigger immune activation and histamine overload, blocking recovery. Supporting nitric oxide pathways helps improve blood flow and detoxification, aiding the gut’s ability to recover from chronic inflammation.

Histamine Intolerance & MCAS: Mast cell activation can mimic or worsen SIBO, causing unpredictable food reactions. Nitric Oxide helps modulate inflammatory signaling, offering a biochemical “reset” for the immune response.

Stomach Acid, Bile Flow & Digestion: Low stomach acid and impaired bile flow allow bacterial overgrowth to persist. Optimized Nitric Oxide levels support digestive enzyme delivery and tissue perfusion, enabling better nutrient absorption and microbial balance.

Complex Gut Cases: POTS, long COVID, CIRS, chronic UTIs, bladder pain, and pelvic floor dysfunction are often intertwined with gut dysfunction. Addressing Nitric Oxide as a systemic foundation supports motility, energy, and vascular function across these complex cases.

Who This Gut Health Summit Is For

This summit is designed for people who:

Have chronic bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or mixed IBS

Have tried multiple SIBO treatments without lasting relief

Experience fatigue, brain fog, or histamine reactions

Feel stuck in food restriction and supplement overload

Have been labeled “complex” or “sensitive”

Suspect mold exposure or nervous system dysregulation
