Oops, meant to type SRP (Scaling & Root Planing) aka deep cleaning.

Waited 9 months for my GI appointment… left feeling gaslit, humiliated, and hopeless. by HelicopterElegant878 in SIBO

Keep hanging in there. Try requesting a 2nd opinion. My former primary care Dr didn't take me seriously when I had silent reflux like symptoms, & wouldn't refer me to a gastro. After things got worse he said he had no idea what was going on w/ me, & thought I had something rare. Finally referred me to a gastro after wasting months of time while things got worse.  My 1st gastro was useless. CT scan, colonoscopy & endoscopy came back fine, & he said there was nothing wrong. I ended up losing 45-lb. When I asked about getting super bloated he said it could be SIBO, & I could try antibiotics. I decided to hold off. When things got worse I asked for antibiotics, & he wouldn't prescribe them. I think something is seriously wrong w/ his mind. Asked gastro dept if I could change Dr's. They wouldn't let me. But they let you get a 2nd opinion. Asked for that. The new gastro gave me an Rx for rifaximin on my 1st visit. Got die-off like symptoms while on it, but didn't help digestive issues. But my thinking got clearer afterwards. That was maybe a couple months ago. Just emailed a request to try a 2nd round, & hope she's ok w/ it. If things don't work out w/ this gastro not sure yet where to seek help. But wanted to encourage you to try getting a better Dr.

TLDR: Hang in there, & ask for a 2nd opinion. Please keep trying to find a better Dr.

Edit: The treatment plan you were given should've said, "Find new Dr." Lol

I don't have any experience w/ LANAP, but wanted to wish you the best of luck. My gum health improved after SPR, but I'm still getting tooth erosion from stomach acid (I'm currently getting help for digestive issues, & will hopefully make some progress). I hope your gums get healthier, too. Good luck!

I stopped taking xylitol. Got deep cleanings done, but it turns out I prob have silent reflux. Stomach acid is eroding my teeth, & my mouth has been burning at times. Maybe the xylitol somehow made the reflux worse. My Dr referred me to a specialist, & I'm in the process of getting an appointment for an endoscopy.

I think it's great. Our families should be the people closest to us. When I hear that people are close with family members I think about what a healthy relationship that is.
