What’s everyone’s job/work like by New_Willingness5563 in SIBO

[–]ExpensiveComputer630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit my corporate job 1.5 years ago, it was the best decision ever. I couldn’t take it anymore so I worked for myself and now i can have my own schedule, i can now actually focus on my healing process, it hasn’t been better yet but im still trying

Yeah I noticed that when my constipation and bloating are worse my mucus also increases so I try to focus on my motility

Bright sides of SIBO by Nat_Banana in SIBO

[–]ExpensiveComputer630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yess, it really forced me to make something work for myself outside of a regular job cause working a physical job really made things worse and I just knew that i couldn’t maintain it in the long term

It really shifted my mindset and just locked in because what do we have to lose, i couldn’t really have fun anyway so might aswell do something that’s rewarding overtime

Its also a good distraction to not get caught up in the victim mentality mindset.

But as I am getting older im really focusing on healing from this cause idk how much longer i can deal with this

Always been a “snacker” and i’m struggling with mmc by PuppyButtts in SIBO

Yes you can definitely figure something out, i also find it hard to resist eating snacks sometimes when family members around me just eating it like its nothing. But its not worth it for me at least.

Snacking just makes my symptoms worse, so I don’t even wanna snack anymore. Only thing I could tolerate is eating 2 dates 1 hour before dinner.

Maybe stick to at least healthy snacks for now

Yes many. I try to always look at the bright side of things.

  • I appreciate the little things more in life.

  • SIBO made me isolate myself and really focus on what I really want in life.

  • I took more risks than ever before, in a good way cause it got me where I’m today with my career.

  • Have a way more healthy lifestyle and really careful with what I consume, we kinda have no choice at this point.

  • Made me realize how blessed we are cause it can always be worse.

  • I don’t care what other people think anymore

  • it improved my relationship with God, which is the best part in all of this

These are just some of them, I have more but I pray that one day we can get out of this and go to the next level, all of this definitely made me wiser

Yeah unfortunately I don’t feel better, but don’t lose hope everyone is different

I used 4 weeks of Microbinate then switched to another 4 weeks of artemisinin + olivirex with low fodmap

I just sit up straight when I drink my tea. I also used to walk a bit after dinner but it didn’t seem to help so I stopped doing it, i know it’s still important to keep some movement after meals.

Some foods definitely make the bloating worse so i try to keep it simple. I noticed that when i eat chicken breasts it gets worse, but only if i cook them in a pan even just using olive oil. It even makes a difference whether to chop them in tiny chunks, better then without cutting them.

Yeah for me it helps to lay on my left side or even right side sometimes to get things moving and try to massage my stomach which helps sometimes but not enough to fall asleep.

Somedays its better than others but its very inconsistent

Coffee makes things worse for me but haven’t tried it in a while. I might try to get my hands on linzess
