Also worth noting that bruxism is correlated with gut dysbiosis and parasitic gut infections which may be otherwise hard to pin down. In my case bruxism was a notable symptom of the severity of my SIBO—an infiltration of the small intestine with pathogenic bacteria. It's an incredibly hard condition to spot and will almost certainly be completely unnoticed by western medical practitioners. However, it can wreak havoc over your health & well-being and is worth ruling out if you're generally feeling unwell.
- everybodyknows 6y agoHow do you treat or mitigate the SIBO?
- nikkwong 6y agoHa! That's the most difficult question of all and there is not one best answer; it's highly contextual based on the individual's circumstance. The goal is to eradicate the bacteria; this is usually achieved through antibiotics, antimicrobials (think herbs/herb oils), and prokinetics (to increase regularity). It can be a chronic and reoccuring problem in many individuals and is much more difficult to treat than the apneas, unfortunately.
