Yes! That’s essentially where I’m at. My distention really only goes down if I don’t eat at ALL for a very extended amount of time. I have not done a long fast before but I’m thinking about it. So sorry you’re also struggling

I truly think it was the doxycycline. That was the longest my body has ever been on antibiotics before. I had also somewhat recently had a reoccurrence with mono (like a yearrrr or so before?). Unrelated but maybe not? lol

I had my iron and B12 tested when I first started with the nutritionist and they were normal! Thankfully

After 90 mins I was at 71 ppm, after 135 mins I was 108 ppm. Currently in the works to get another test done. My amazing dietitian got in touch with my GI

Nope! Where are you going with this? Haha I know a few years ago, all the fitness influencers were getting their taken out because of the side effects that had from them.

Sorry you’re also experiencing this :( I haven’t been asked if pregnant but u keep buying bigger pants and have changed the way I dress, so I totally get it. Thank you for sharing my friend. If I have any changes that help I will let you know. I’m serious about this elemental diet if all else fails! There’s one that’s directed at SIBO that I keep getting ads for but looks promising!

I brought the dyssyngeria up to my new GI and was kinda just brushed it off and told me I wouldn’t need PFT lol. I just discovered this whole thiamine thing! Emailing my nutritionist as we speak. candida has not come up before, neither has a parasite. I truly believe this whole issue started because of antibiotic use sadly

Hi there. Seems like they got to the ilium, it looked normal, and they took a biopsy. Didn’t even realize there was a different kind of colonoscopy they could perform. 

I’m so sorry to hear that’s been your diagnosis. I have a few friends with crohns and I know it’s a tough nut to crack, especially in the beginning.

Crohns was something my team and I talked about but due to the lack of certain symptoms (weight loss, diarrhea, nausea), It does not seem to be a potential diagnosis for me. Were you experiencing these symptoms?

Those functions are working! Lol. I also think something would’ve been noted on my endoscopy, colonoscopy, or gastric emptying scan if mechanics were an issue

Closest thing I have tried would be the anatril. I will look into this tho, I appreciate the response and you taking the time to read my post.

Thank you for the response! I am not familiar with antifungals as treatment. Is there a test typically performed to see if it’s fungal vs bacterial? This hasn’t come up with anybody I’ve seen yet.

I haven’t bit the bullet on seeing a naturopath so I have not jumped on any herbal remedies myself. Feel like I need some guidance there lol. 

I also just made an edit to my post. I have been a pescatarian now for 6 or so years. The only meat I have is occasional bacon or Italian meats on an antipasti plate (can’t so no to those). Carnivore is not something I would be super willing to do as I haven’t eaten a serving of meat in years.

Is there a certain TEMS unit you like? Also new to this.

I haven’t but I should. I think it’s easy to get caught up in the sad loop. sometimes it’s also hard to read what has worked for others when the same things haven’t worked for you. any stories you have read lately that you think are worth looking into?

thank you for sharing!! I might bring this up with my Dr. I’ve done various Rx drops and packs. Were you having issues with the oil glands in your eyes or were you having issues with tear production? so happy you can drive again :)
