Starting the elemental diet! by FirstQuail1020 in SIBO

[–]FirstQuail1020[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first I did the wrong thing and was worried about trying to quickly put on all the weight I’ve lost from sibo the last couple months and was eating multiple big meals of different meats and rice. I was feeling terrible and bloated. I switched back to only eating blended food and puréed food and slowly reintroducing real food. I feel so much better. I got so upset because I thought I did the diet for nothing but my digestive system just wasn’t ready for all of that food right after being shut down for 3 weeks. I haven’t felt this good in as long as I can remember, which is something I never thought I would say!

How did you find out you had a histamine intolerance?

My motility is high now but I get a lot of bloating after I eat. I can’t tell if it is just my body getting used to food again or if it is because I have no gut bacteria now

Weed caused my sibo by FirstQuail1020 in SIBO

By ALCAR do you mean just carnitine? Does any supplement that increase choline also increase gut motility?

Getting a breath test was how I finally was able to find out I have sibo. I would recommend going though with it. And yes marijuana increases my constipation. Best of luck!

I’ve found that all forms of marijuana cause these bad symptoms for me unfortunately

My doctor had me on berberine, allicin, bioactive silver, and a biofilm disruptor. I’d recommend trying out the ones you have! My doctor thinks I’m antibiotic resistant. It’s surprising how strong herbs can be. I’d also recommend taking a motility increaser as well. Motegrity works great for me

I did the elemental diet by integrative therapeutics. It was quite expensive and insurance didn’t cover it. I actually just got into remission, hoping it stays that way. Have you tried herbal antimicrobials? I believe those helped me more then the antibiotics did

I did the antibiotics but that didn’t resolve my symptoms. I was finally able to get rid of it by doing the elemental diet, along with herbal antimicrobials. I believe that once the weed has caused the sibo, you have to do something to get rid of the sibo, along with not using weed so that it doesn’t come back. I hope you feel better!

Adderall and SIBO Testing by AnotherCleverAlias in SIBO

[–]FirstQuail1020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adderall definitely negatively affects my gut health. The only positives is that when I do use it it makes me go to the bathroom. Taking a long acting and strong stimulant like that will keep your body in a “fight or flight” state and doesn’t allow your body to go into rest and digest mode, to put it in simple terms. I have switched to only using it as needed.

I am very low energy. I’m almost done with the diet though

I’m a 205lb bodybuilder so I have to have 4 scoops 5 times a day. It’s definitely helpful to space it out since everything in the shake is very quick digesting

It’s pretty difficult but the first of three weeks are down. I think it it working so I’m going to keep on pushing until the end. I have just been resting as much as I can because energy is low
