About Us

SIBO Clinic Canada was founded nearly a decade ago by Elmer Bernard, a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces who turned his personal health struggles into a mission to help others reclaim their gut health.

What started as a small diagnostic center focused exclusively on identifying Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) has since evolved into one of the most trusted names in digestive wellness, serving clients across Canada, the United States, and Europe.

Elmer’s path into this field was born out of experience. An active outdoorsman and lifelong gym enthusiast, he was sidelined by severe digestive issues that left him searching for answers. After facing long wait times and limited support, he decided to take matters into his own hands. His determination to bring faster, evidence-based SIBO testing to Canadians grew into a full-scale operation dedicated to empowering people to take charge of their gut health.

Today, SIBO Clinic Canada continues to expand its reach, combining professional-grade testing, premium products, and education to help individuals restore balance and long-term vitality.

At the heart of our testing center is the belief that vibrant health begins in the gut. Our mission is to provide accurate, accessible, and timely SIBO testing using the trusted QuinTron Easy Sample Breath Test Kit — a simple, at-home solution that empowers individuals to take control of their health from the comfort of their own space.

But we don’t stop at SIBO analysis. Understanding that many chronic symptoms are rooted in digestive imbalance, we’ve expanded our offerings to include a carefully curated selection of gut health supplements. Each product is chosen for its clinical efficacy, quality, and alignment with our goal of helping you restore digestive harmony and overall well-being.

Elmer’s expertise in natural health and SIBO analysis — backed by years of hands-on experience and advanced training — ensures that every client receives exceptional care and evidence-based guidance. More than just a testing facility, SIBO Clinic Canada serves as a trusted partner in your healing journey, offering not only accurate results but also education, personalized support, and the tools you need to move forward with confidence.
