In this episode, we discuss the gut-immune axis and Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO), with a mechanistic focus on immune activation and epithelial barrier disruption. We detail contributing factors to and symptoms of SIFO. We further discuss the anatomical positioning and immunological functions of mast cells within the lamina propria, highlighting mast cell activation syndrome, while detailing how SIFO and SIBO can serve as upstream triggers for mast cell activation.



Topics:

1. The Gut-Immune Axis and Mast Cells

- The intestinal epithelium forms the innermost selective barrier, coated in a protective mucus layer.

- Immediately beneath lies the lamina propria, rich in immune cells including mast cells.

 

2. Mast Cells in the Lamina Propria

- Mast cells are positioned near nerves, capillaries, lymphatics, and epithelial cells within the lamina propria.

- Their anatomical location enables rapid immune surveillance and inflammatory response.

- Mast cell granules store histamine and more.

 

3. Mast Cell Mediators

- Histamine: Biogenic amine, inflammatory signaling.

- Tryptase: A serine protease.

- Cytokines and lipid mediators also released upon activation.

 

4. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)

- Overlap: SIFO, SIBO

 

6. Hypochlorhydria and the Stomach’s Defense Role

- Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor.

- HCl denatures proteins and sterilizes ingested pathogens.

- Chief cells secrete pepsinogen, which becomes pepsin in acidic conditions to digest proteins.

- Consequences of Reduced Gastric Acidity

 

7. The Role of Intestinal Motility

- Enteric nervous system (ENS), myenteric and submucosal plexuses.

169. Immunoglobulins in Intestinal Health and Immune Function | Immunoglobulin G, Immunoglobulin M, Secretory Immunoglobulin A, and Supporting the Gut-Immune Axis

In this episode, we detail the pathophysiology of intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO), hydrogen-dominant small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (H₂-SIBO), and hydrogen sulfide-dominant SIBO (H₂S-SIBO), discussing their mechanistic interactions and overlap. We discuss methanogenic archaea, as well hydrogen sulfide- and hydrogen-producing microbes and their contributions to altered gastrointestinal motility, epithelial barrier function, and neuromuscular signaling. We detail host endogenous defense mechanisms, including gastric acid secretion, pancreatic enzymatic activity, bile flow, intestinal motility, and more.



Topics:

1. Introduction

- Overview of intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO), hydrogen sulfide-dominant SIBO, and hydrogen-dominant SIBO 

- Discussion of overlap

 

2. Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth (IMO)

- Characterized by an overabundance of methane-producing archaea 

- Methane and intestinal transit

- Bloating, abdominal discomfort, constipation 

- Associated with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) 

 

3. Overlap Between IMO and SIBO Subtypes

- Hydrogen as a substrate for methane and/or hydrogen sulfide production

- Shared potential root causes

 

4. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and Protective Mechanisms

- The small intestine remains relatively free of bacteria due to protective mechanisms 

- Gastric acid secretion 

- Pancreatic enzymes and bile

- Intestinal motility

- Structural abnormalities

 

5. Hydrogen-Dominant SIBO

- Increased hydrogen and intestinal transit

- Potential symptoms, diarrhea, postprandial bloating 

- Different forms of SIBO can coexist

 

6. Hydrogen Sulfide-Dominant SIBO

- H₂S and intestinal motility

- H₂S and intestinal epithelial integrity

- Symptoms, associations with IBS diarrhea   

 

7. Host Defense Mechanisms Regulating Microbial Balance

- Gastric acid secretion, pancreatic enzyme activity, bile flow, intestinal motility, and more

 

8. Gastric Acid and Its Role in Microbial Regulation

- Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor 

- Chief cells secrete pepsinogen, conversion into pepsin in acidic conditions 

- Gastric acid, digestion and antimicrobial defense 

 

9. Hypochlorhydria

- Low gastric acid impairs microbial defense

- Reduced acidity disrupts digestion and downstream pancreatic enzyme and bile release 

 

10. Pancreatic Enzymes and Their Role in Microbial Regulation

- Pancreatic enzymes, digestion, antimicrobial activity

- Enzymes modify chyme to limit fermentable substrates that fuel microbial proliferation 

 

11. Intestinal Motility

- Coordinated contractions propel food, microbes, and waste through the GI tract 

- The enteric nervous system (ENS) and gut motility

- The myenteric plexus controls peristalsis, while the submucosal plexus regulates secretion and absorption 

 

12. Conclusion

- Intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO), hydrogen-dominant SIBO, and hydrogen sulfide-dominant SIBO 

- Overlap in symptoms and microbial interactions 

- Host defense mechanisms, including gastric acid, pancreatic enzymes, and motility 

- Intestinal motility and ENS function in microbial homeostasis 

- Hydrogen sulfide as a gasotransmitter

168. Intestinal Motility and Overlap Among Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth (IMO), Hydrogen-Dominant Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, and Hydrogen Sulfide-Dominant SIBO

In this episode, we detail the gut-immune axis, focusing on the protective mucus layer, antimicrobial peptides, and the role of lactoferrin in intestinal health. We discuss endogenous secretions and how lactoferrin functions as an antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and iron-regulating glycoprotein, influencing microbial balance and intestinal barrier integrity. Additionally, we highlight lactoferrin testing and levels. We finish by going through supplementation as a phenomenal tool.



Topics:

1. The Intestinal Barrier & Mucus Layer

- The intestinal lumen, microbiome, mucus layer, epithelial cells, and lamina propria.

- The mucus layer: antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and secretory IgA (sIgA).

- Intestinal epithelial cells including goblet cells and enterocytes.



2. Immune Cells in the Gut

- The lamina propria.

- Macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, B cells, T cells, mast cells, and more.



3. Antimicrobial Peptides & Secretory IgA

- AMPs and sIgA in the mucus layer regulate microbial balance and prevent pathogen adhesion.



4. Lactoferrin: Functions & Sources

- Iron-binding glycoprotein, antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties.

- Found in mucosal secretions, colostrum, and more.

- Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and neutrophils.



5. Lactoferrin’s Role in Intestinal Health

- Regulates iron absorption via lactoferrin receptors (LFR)on enterocytes.

- Sequesters free iron, limiting bacterial growth, bacteriostatic.

- Destabilizes bacterial membranes, cell lysis, bactericidal.



6. Lactoferrin Levels

- Neutrophils release lactoferrin during infection,increasing its presence in the large intestine.

- Fecal lactoferrin levels.

- Fecal calprotectin levels.



7. Lactoferrin & Candida Overgrowth

- Fungal membranes.

- Aiding in the inhibition of biofilm formation.



8. Lactoferrin Supplementation & Benefits

- Supports gut microbiota, epithelial integrity, and immunemodulation.

- Bovine colostrum and as a supplement.



9. Conclusion

- The intestinal mucus layer is key to gut barrier function.

- Lactoferrin plays a central role in microbial regulationand immune defense.
