@helenrose this is what I pulled from the internet: In gut health, MMC stands for the Migrating Motor Complex. It is a cyclical pattern of electrical and muscular contractions that moves through the stomach and small intestine during fasting periods between meals. Often called the gut's "housekeeper," its main job is to sweep away leftover food, waste, and bacteria.How the MMC WorksActs as a self-cleaning wave in the GI tract when it is empty.Activates roughly every 90 to 120 minutes.Pauses or resets whenever you eat food or snack.Takes about 1.5 to 3 hours to finish a full cycle.Why It MattersClears debris from the small bowel.Prevents harmful bacteria from building up.Reduces the risk of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).Helps minimize chronic bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort
I hope this helps. If anyone can tell me the dosage for herbal treatments for SIBO I’d be very grateful.
