Iodine

I asked my ND about using Iodine to treat SIBO and he said he's never seen or heard anything to indicate it's been used. He did say that most people are low in Iodine and it wouldn't hurt to try it because it's water soluable and I don't have any thyroid issues.  Iodine is antibacterial so who knows, it's worth a try.  I ordered some Lugol's Iodine off of Amazon.   I think I ordered the 2% solution,  probably should have got the 5%.

So far this is the best information I can find on dosing. "The best dose is 10 mg – 12 mg daily. You can go up to 50 mg daily for loading purposes but not for long."  from this site.
