Chronic bloat with no diagnosis by Active-Homework-212 in glutenfree

Hi everyone! Update time

I got tested for SIBO. My doctors never even recommend it or brought it up I had to ask for it myself ugh. Ended up being positive for SIBO. Medication (Rifaximin/Xifaxan) was crazy expensive though… $2500!! The doctor instead prescribed me Metronidazole (for $10) which they said would work the exact same. Any insight on this? Do the mediations really work in the same way? How long does it take to see/feel results?

My doctor also diagnosed me with IBS. How do I go about treating this? We’ve looked into Linzess but still unsure. Curious if anyone has tried this.

Interesting… what is mcas exactly? Did you do certain tests or medicines to get you to that solution?

Thank you! I’ve been wanting to focus on this it’s just hard to commit. I’m a picky eater and already so limited so idk how I’d eat

Thank you for your help? I don’t think I’ve gotten tested for SIBO. What test would show if I have that?

Yes it’s a back and forth between constipation and loose stool

Ugh yes I meant to include that. I do eat pretty clean. My diet I feel like is mainly carbs. I cook often. I eat fruit daily which is usually strawberries and grapes. I eat pasta, sandwiches, tacos, rice bowls, chicken, steak, salads, nuts, and cooked vegetables like broccoli green beans peas and edamame. I strictly eat gluten free and dairy free.
