4. what was the root cause of SIBO/digestion issues in your case?

[xeliex]

1) It took a couple of months to get better and about a year to become good, coupled with dietary management. (took for about 2 months).

2) I took digestive enzymes about twice a week prn

3) Hasn't come back in years.

4) Low thyroid / parasites etc..

5) Yes, tongue had white coating but resolved quickly

used it for blastocystis. I think it was using 600mg one/day 14 days. worked well for blasto. No adverse. Was eating right/not high on carbs/was using betaine HCl
Not sure if it will work for SIBO

Did nothing for me. Took it ten days I think.

@Jennifer had success

I tested for it two days ago. If I didn’t mess up the procedure using the home kit and the result is valid and positive I’ll try a course of rifaximin. I’m not bloated however I have a mildly coated tongue when I wake up. I also develop acne when I eat certain foods (especially dairy) and it takes me months to get rid of the flare up once I have sinned.

Yep, and it appears xeliex, too. I might have had better results with the antibiotics had I been on the rifaximin longer than a month and tolerated the neomycin (for the methane producing bacteria) but luckily, I was able to clear the SIBO mainly through diet and long-term, thyroid supplementation. Without thyroid, I don’t think I would have gone this long without a recurrence of it due to my injury.

May I ask how many mg of rifaximin you took each day and for how long? Thanks

 

[dogtrainer]

1. How long did it take to clear up your digestive issues?

2. did you have to take oxbile/hcl/pancreatin with it?

3. did your SIBO come back eventually?

4. what was the root cause of SIBO/digestion issues in your case?

5. was your tongue coated?

1. Round 1: a few days
Round 2. a week
Round 3. Didn’t work
Round 4. Didn’t work
Round 5. Didn’t work
Round 6. Didn’t work

2. I did rounds 3-6; it didn’t work

3. Yes

4. Unsure; probably had something to do with intermittent fasting, a lifetime of stress and poor eating habits. I actually think my issues were more fungal than bacterial

5. Yes

I use some Ivermectin horse paste to prevent myself from getting covid when I was taking care of my daughter and it miraculously cleared up all of my bloating issues, along with rosacea
