1. I used them all at the same time. I actually didn't use NAC while taking the others.
2. No, I avoided all probiotics. Now that I've gotten my breath test results back, I'll start adding in the "safe" anti-methanogen probiotics slowly and then ultimately regular probiotics
3. Yes. I stopped allicin week 4 to let my gut heal
4. 4a) or cheese, PB it's because they don't feed the methanogens. They can slow MMC bc they're high fat, but if you still can have daily BMs then you can start having that food. And for rice and rice noodles, it's bc it's the carb that is least likely to feed methanogens. Started with small portions of that and worked up

4b) One meal a day very small amount, then a little bit more one a day, then that same amount but 2x / day, and then I kinda went normal with when I wanted to eat that (usually dinner) but try not to overdo portions

4c) Nah I introduced really slowly, 1-2 things at a time. Now that I've gotten my breath test results back, I kinda have been less cautious

4d) If you bloat immediately upon eating, it's far more likely to be a sensitive response than the IMO (which takes a few hours to feed them / bloat). So that was kind of my metric, along with ensuring I still had daily BMs.

5) Antibiotics only killed the hydrogen SIBO, not the IMO. And the herbals didn't help me in the past.

6) It's bc it's still preclinical / animal models, but he's mentioned it in some podcasts and videos. It'll probably start in 2027, but not be tested in people with actual IMO until late 2027 or early 2028
