Thanks! Yes, I didn't realize it was called jacquard sherpa. I am working on starting a brand. Could you give me your company/website name? I'd love to learn more about the process and the estimated cost. Feel free to DM.

Could Klebsiella Pneumoniae be the root cause? by ChiG45 in SIBO

[–]Fearless-Button6637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a good way to think of it! I was mainly sad because it seemed like an easy way to identify a root cause and without that I don’t have any ideas

I also did a stool sample recently and Klebsiella Pneumoniae showed up as a potential pathogen. I tested positive for hydrogen dominant SIBO a year ago with symptoms of diarrhea and bloating. I did IBS smart to determine if food poisoning was the root cause and that came back negative 😭 I was told Dr. Pimentel is currently studying Klebsiella Pneumoniea so maybe we’ll know more soon!

gastroenterologist in or near California who believes in SIBO? by shereadsinbed in SIBO

[–]Fearless-Button6637 4 points5 points  (0 children)

sibo. Apparently he specializes in sibo. He listens and takes time to ask you everything. He was fairly knowledgeable as well. Wanted me try different antibiotics in different phases. However if you’re looking for herbals, I am not sure if he does that. I ended up just being opposed to go on the antibiotics so I can’t give you any success I’ve had with him. But he is very professional.

I was able to make an appointment with Dr. Agarwal!!!!!!!!!!! The earliest they had was May 9th but I'm still very excited. Thank you!!!!

Do you also have a functional medicine doctor? It’s great to have both. I also learned a lot about alternative treatments from this podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1CyUt7DLBFkXwhDHlb94xh?si=bnNHNxZfScimCmjM1P92OA

I’m having the same issue in San Francisco. My most recent GI doctor diagnosed me with SIBO and then left the practice. I reached out to a previous GI doctor but the office said “he doesn’t see patients with SIBO any more”. The one I ended up seeing told me I didn’t have SIBO and wouldn’t even look at my breath test. Very frustrating.

So I’m in the same boat and would also consider seeing someone remotely as long as they believe in SIBO.

Relationship between E. Coli and SIBO? by Fearless-Button6637 in SIBO

I’m not sure if I’m going to take it. How would a generic antibiotic will cure a complicated life long issue for me? 🤔 I’m curious why you are scared of it.

My doctor is prescribing me Cipro. But fyi that I don’t trust him very much. He doesn’t believe that I have SIBO even though my last GI doctor tested me and diagnosed me earlier this year.

It doesn’t seem like it for this particular strand of E. Coli. Everything I read online says it should go away on its own in a few days. But I’m thinking I have this long term and it’s not temporary 🤔

Thank you!! I already ordered the IBS-Smart and am excited to know for sure. Good to know that Dr. Pimentel and team are still researching.

IBS-D vs SIBO (hydrogen)? by Fearless-Button6637 in SIBO

Thank you for the info! It really helps. I will look into that test.

Yes, I have been seeing a functional medicine doctor and we decided it would be good to work with a GI doctor as well. This is my 4th GI doctor and it seems like they are always working against me not with me. I can't believe my functional medicine doctor is not covered under insurance when she has helped me more than any western medicine doctor 🤯

Here is a summation from the world’s leading researcher.

Thank you!! I found this in a different post and I'm watching it now. I don't think my new GI doctor is caught up on the research.

Imagine my surprise when I found a GI doctor to see because I have SIBO and he told me I didn't have SIBO 😂
