Have you read Nathan Hatch's book F*ck portion control?
It has some good chapters on gut bacteria.
I do think killing them won't solve anything, they will just come back.
You have to change gut dysbiosis to gut symbiosis. There might be a storm between the two states.
Try some activated charcoal, I'm a real big fan of AC. I know Ray has said a carrot salad and cooked mushrooms are the best for intestinal issues but I responded best to the activated charcoal. I took/take it right before bed, a couple hours after I've eaten my last meal and supplements. I figure this is the best way to do AC without it robbing me of my nutrients. Because AC has a tendency to absorbed not just endotoxins but nutrients as well.
AC absorbs the byproducts (i.e endotoxins) of the bacteria, which is what's causing all the unwanted side effects. As for the bacteria itself, correcting your metabolism and thyroid will increase your stomach acid and will likely remove the overgrowth. For your constipation, try mixing some cascara with your charcoal. As charcoal by itself might actually make the constipation worse.But the charcoal is not getting rid of bacteria , right ? You take it everyday ?

Fatty cheese can slow down your intestinal peristalsis due to the opiate effect of the casein protein. Curd can do the same.
Coconut oil doesnt stimulate bile release so its effects are not the same. MCT’s are directly absorbed without bile.
Butter can bother people due to the hormone content it has depending on where the cows are from, what they ate and when they were milked. The fats in butter are pretty good though.
I would try beef tallow and/or cocoa butter and I think you will get a much different effect. Both of these can strongly stimulate bile release.
