My IBS and SIBO Story [Vlog]

[@marismall1689]

I happened on your vlog and I'm super impressed. Have had IBS-C for probably 60 years and recently also been diagnosed with SIBO. Currently going through the Candibactin protocol and it's been a pretty good ride so far and was just prescribed Motility Activator, tonight being my maiden voyage on it sooooo..... I will definitely be following you!

[@gutmicrobiomequeen]

Oh, Mari! Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting! I wish you the best of luck on your healing journey (/I hope you're already pooping like a champion and was able to unfollow my channel :) )

Wow you resonate with me so much i cant explain how much. thank you for sharing your story because it lifts a weight off my shoulders some how. X

[@tysonelite9561]

Thanks for sharing your story!

Ms. Di Nezza! Claire here! Had a burrito in 2021 that led me to develop post infectious IBS C(90% sure). I am currently taking the Motility Activator prokinetic and am extremely hopeful that I can heal! What would you suggest I take to speed up MMC nerve healing? I really want to cure this, and intend to start Betaine HCL soon for my potential SIBO(rotten smelling farts). My bowels don't completely empty and I have Gerd and gallbladder trouble. Will the prokinetic assist with complete evacuation!

Very informative and frank, thank you! It reminded me that I had a lot of antibiotics in Kenya when I got veldt sores (a bacteria which prev ents wounds from healing and untreated you can end up with gangrene) when fighting a fire. That probably did me no good. Correction it did me a lot of good preventing gangrene but did my GI tract no good! SIBO is very depressing but getting a diagnosis is wonderful! I got my lab results two weeks agop-clear overgrowth of methane. The relief at least of having an idea what is wrong is a huge help for me anyway. I live in Germany and here they are way behind Australia or USa in knowledge about SIBO. There is no breath test for hydrogen sulphide for example. Anyway, your talk was very interesting. Personally I would like to see a debate about causes. Mark Pimentel seems convinced that food poisoning accounts for most causes. I think you disagree (?). Also, it really is time people made clear the distinction between IBS and SIBO because as I udnerstand it all SIBO is IBS but not all IBS is SIBO but it is very confusing when people talk about IBS AND SIBO. Surely saying IBS AND SIBO is meaningless, like saying I have chairs AND furniture at home?

[@wonderforadventseason8128]

I appreciate your story. I'm just feeling so demoralized by my sibo. I don't want to spend more money on testing and supplements, low fodmaps sets me back repeatedly and i don't want to go through the pain of finding another practitioner that will cost 100s of $$$ to retest and diagnose and leave me in the same situation anyway. Today my weight inched back up again. I just cant keep it down even with restriction and I look pregnant and cant wear most nice things anymore. Im just really discouraged. At least my worst symptoms are gone. .

It’s a never ending rabitt hole. Nothing works. Wasted $100,000 already on antimicrobials(useless) rifaxinim(useless),diet(useless). They need the right medicine to kill this infection

[@MinionTomato1]

How are you now? Anything work? I’ve been suffering 6 years of sibo. Nothing worked

[@briannemorgan1]

I had an allergist tell me Igg testing isnt accurate. Do you agree or think it's wise to have Igg testing done and if so is there a lab/ test you recommend?

[@dprice81]

Your story of eliminating everything and then giving up and giving into reactant foods and reacting to everything only it's been going on 20 years. Took an antifungal and I had no symptoms for 2 years and cooking mushrooms that had gone bad (holy brain fog) brought my symptoms back. My stool test never found anything and sibo hydrogen test negative. I tried all the herbal antimicrobials and didn't do a thing. So I'm pretty sure it's fungal overgrowth, sulfur issues (guessing it's genetic), and I'm not sure if there's sulfide and or methane because my Dr didn't have the trio test at the time. I wonder if he does now.

[@bluejean-1968]

I just ordered some ginger and artichoke extract. Hoping this helps me!

[@Robyn9614]

I am interested in hearing how you are now and how you got rid of your probable SIBO. Boy, you have been through a lot!

[@gutmicrobiomequeen]

Hi, Robyn! You don't know the half of it ;) Maybe I'll do more vlogs about my assorted medical history as time goes on. I'll make that "recent gut health status" video sometime soon, but in the meantime, I believe I did some combo of the following, looking back: - Stress reduction (including getting a dog

[@punkynoodle9370]

Thanks for that. Would love to know what you did to cure the SIBO.

[@tysonelite9561]

I have a question.... How can i be checked for bacteria or fungal overgrowth? Ive been battling a stomach issue for months now, i have seen some improvement, but my poop is still very weird and my stomach ia sensitive....

[@Hollysuzette33]

Thanks so much!

[@lumbeegamer7065]

@gutmicrobiomequeen what stool test did you use to find out? which do you recommend now?

[@angelataylor2049]

How did you heal yourself, especially the Sibo? Thanks.m🙂

[@gloriaknott7226]

Thanks...this video helped me to self diagnose sibo. I was pretty sure that’s one of the issues I had. After this I’m pretty sure. I wasn’t aware that methane caused constipation. That would be me 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@alectrateri]

You should try raw milk if you still enjoy dairy!

[@lynz]

EXCUSE ME DID YOU JUST SAY HOME IN BUFFALO NY!!!!!!! Same!!!

[@gutmicrobiomequeen]

I grew up near Ithaca and went to undergrad at UB! My folks moved away from Ithaca years ago, though, so I hardly go back there. My husband's family is all in Buffalo and we go back to visit every year, though. So, I consider Buffalo to be home 😀

[@rosemary81812]

Awwwwwwww buffalo family here!!!!!

[@andreamolinari8068]

🥹❤️ Nezza, I’m in Chile right now, I have sibo, blasto and yeast. Can I meet you? I will ask a meeting. I can buy the products (have friends in usa).

[@affordableaquariumservices1663]

Why would drinking water bloat you if you have sibo?

[@jillturner8680]

No idea but this is what happens to me!

[@affordableaquariumservices1663]

@@jillturner8680 just shows all the so called gurus are clueless on sibo. Doesn’t matter what you eat or drink.
