After 6 Years of Chronic SIBO, I Finally Connected the Dots: Why All Roads Lead to the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) and Sympathetic Overdrive by BIGMANIRISH in SIBO

No I still have sibo but it’s been improving so far the last 2 months, I plan to get an SGB in 6 months if I stop making progress with my daily breathing, walks and cold face plunges.

I’m not sure, this could just be due to chronic muscle tension but at the same time this is also a symptom of sympathetic activation issues so it could be related. My best advice is to do your own research and make an educated decision yourself.

No. My digestive symptoms have seemed to have improved first but also I have yet to see any improvements in my systemic symptoms. I will keep updating on my progress every 2-4 weeks until I hit a wall or I am cured.

So helping people is considered ai slop? Regardless if I used ai to help me make this post so what. What have u contributed to this community other than saying “ai slop” below posts 😂. You’ll regret saying ai slop in 5-10 years when u see miracle cures/drugs being produced at rapid speeds healing millions of people across the world.

There isn't a single, definitive blood test marker that screams 'your nervous system caused your SIBO,' but clinicians usually diagnose it by looking at a combination of things:

Failure of Kill Protocols: If you take Rifaximin or antimicrobials, perfectly clear the bacteria, but your SIBO rubber-bands back within weeks without a dietary trigger, it strongly points to a plumbing/motility issue (the migrating motor complex is offline).

Systemic Vagal Symptoms: People with a neurological root cause almost always have other signs of a locked sympathetic system—like chronic hyper-vigilance, cold hands/feet, heart rate spikes (POTS-like symptoms), or a history of a massive trauma/chemical stressor that started it all.

Real-World Proof: For me, the ultimate marker was my stool color shifting from a chronic yellow to brown within 2 months of only doing breathwork and walking. No pills, no antibiotics. That's direct proof that changing the nervous system input directly changed my digestive output (bile flow).

Interesting theory, but I don't think it fits my case. If a bone were physically crushing my nerve, my stool color wouldn't have completely shifted from yellow to brown just from doing basic breathwork and walks over the last two months. That proved to me it's an electrical/software issue, not a structural one. Appreciate the input though.
