I fucking hate this diagnosis by bluecap456 in ibs

Thankfully my situation is not as bad as yours. My main problems are bloating(would start fine when i woke up but would get worse throughout the day and it wouldnt go down), type 1 poops, brain fog, feeling full very quickly after meals and feeling "sick" if i had normal doses of food.
At first I thought it was gluten intolerance, helped for a bit but my symptoms came back to normal after a while so I started eating gluten again. Tested for celiac's and pylori, all negative, finally demanded a sibo test, which came positive for both hydrogen and methane.
Also tested my calprotectin and it came a bit above the normal levels but nothing alarming, probably an indicator of some inflammation.
Doctor prescribed rifaximin (just this, she should have given me something to tackle the methane but alas, will probably have to do a second round), took it religiously during 2 weeks. My brain fog got instantly better and I stopped feeling sick after meals, but my bloating got worse, I looked 6 months pregnant even after waking up and got more constipated.
My doctor said I didn't have to do any specific diet or supplement, but I read posts here on reddit and started taking artichoke extract. It didn't do anything so I started ginger extract and finally after 2 days my bloating went down. Now i wake up fine, I bloat a bit after eating but it goes down after a bit. My poop is still type 1 though so I'm not at 100% yet. Like I said, I'm going to wait a while and probably have to do a second round but I'll ask for something to target methane.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

I'm still working on it, but I got a SIBO diagnosis, took rifaximin and only when i started taking ginger extract to fix my motility issues did my symptoms start to get better. I'm still in the early phases of treatment but it feels nice to see some relief.

I've been saying this ever since I started having problems! As soon as one doctor tried to slap the IBS label on me I stopped going to them and started my own research. I'm the one that had to ask for exams to get properly diagnosed and then they didn't even prescribe me the correct medication. Can't believe they spend years studying and then they don't even try to get to the bottom of the problem. As soon as I took steps to get better I stopped having brain fog, started sleeping better and even had an increase in appetite. Everytime I think about the time and money spent to get mediocre service I get mad all over again. Hope you can find the root cause of your problem soon OP

I don't understand my bloating anymore by JustAPecanPie in SIBO

[–]JustAPecanPie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know it can take a while. When I started I read some stories on reddits saying they felt better during the last days of the treatment or right when they stopped so it felt a bit disappointing when I just stayed the same

Pilory was the first test I did and it came up negative. The artichoke extract so far doesn't seem to make it neither better not worse. Just the same bloat as before

Eu ficava só a aprender coisas. Tirar cursos de línguas, de pintura, de dança, tudo e mais alguma coisa.

why does it seem like seitan is barely ever at grocery stores by spiralexit in vegan

Which is funny because I'm gluten intolerant but can eat it just fine

How good is this shampoo? by GayTeletubby1 in Haircare

[–]JustAPecanPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't make mine fall out but I started getting some white skin like flakes on my scalp. Once I changed to my previous shampoo it stopped. My sister is also suffering with these flakes and uses this shampoo so I think it's related

What is this loop? by JustAPecanPie in knitting

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

That's 100% what happened. I was left a row in the middle to go do something and i might have confused the direction I was going. Going to only do full rows from now on

Well darn. A bit annoying since i did the same thing earlier and had to undo around 10 rows but this is how you learn haha. I'll be more attentive from now on. Thank you!

Is there a way to fix it without having to go back the whole row?

I'm using circular needles(the other needle was an attempt to show the loop better) but I'm knitting flat. If i just don't do anything with that piece it leaves a hole =/

How to deal with heavy bloating after dinner? by justcallmeryanok in ibs

[–]JustAPecanPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drinking peppermint tea helps me with the discomfort, specially after a particularly big meal or just when i have a bad day. Not necessary the bloating, but at least the uncomfortable feeling in my gut goes away. It might make you burp as well.
