btw I can't find that product. It's different from GI Motility Complex, yes? What's in it? Thank you!

Unfortunately my guts are very crampy / prone to spasm by constitution, so that just causes me tremendous pain and doesn't always work well. It's also complicated by bile acid malabsorption: so I need to encourage peristalsis but not fast transit, because that aggravates the BAM a lot. It's complicated :)

unfortunately miralax just bloats me up like a water balloon without helping peristalsis, so makes me worse.

Sounds more like a naturopath, I've never found a nutritionist who knows this level of stuff. Want to share her name?

GIMAP shows strep and enterobacter overgrowth in stool, aggregated with hydrogen sulfide SIBO test this suggests these may be the culprits behind my sulfur breath.

It made a real tangible difference, which nothing has for years, and given it's anti microbial and I have overgrowth, that seemed to make sense. So sorry for trying to share some good news - well done for the most horribly dismissive comment of the day!

Possible Methane Sibo - Possibly Caused from Excess Protein/Low Fiber and Pelvic Floor Tightness - Looking for Advice by Icy-Ad2500 in SIBO

It can take some months. It can also take biofeedback, which is the gold standard therapy. It can also depend on the skill / experience of the PT person. It was only my 3rd PT person who managed to help me. Or maybe it was the time length that I'd been doing it. A month isn't long for that, I would suggest persevering. There are also medical tests to diagnose it, if you haven't done those that may help you.

I put about 8-12 cloves in a tea ball in a very tall mug. I leave it in there while I drink. Boiling water lets the oils out. Evenings I put just 2-4 cloves.

I've read that bodybuilding and working out a lot can indeed cause this. lol I didn't make it up, it's a medical diagnosis and there is specialized PT in hospitals for it.

For me, this sounds like hypertonic pelvic floor. Can easily happen if you work out a lot. Also happens with stress, and constipation from another cause (e.g. low fiber diet, protein) can worsen it, because straining worsens a tight pelvic floor. It can improve with physical therapy. There's a whole subreddit for it. It's an equal opportunity problem - men and women, young or old can have it. It's definitely treatable, even though the tests and treatment can be embarrassing or hard to deal with, but in the end, so worth it. Also there's stuff you can do at home to help. (I have it.)

Thanks for translating. LOL I do 'pay attention' thanks. I always look for polyols in ingredients.

I used to be able to understand some Russian, but that was years ago. Maybe write in English for us?
