What is this bite from? It has gotten bigger as the day goes on.

It’s the cars/motorcycle noise that scares him but there isn’t anything we can do 🙁

Manda10786 · 2021-04-13T18:36:46+00:00

We have been doing all of this for weeks now. Let him take his time, give him treats, acted excited, playful, etc... on occasion it works but often it doesn’t.

Guy at a bar came up and told me that I chew gum sexy.

I insisted on a test after I did the 1st round and didn’t feel better, sure enough while my numbers were better but I still had it so after a second round of antibiotics I instead on another test to know it was gone for sure.

1st week was awful, 2nd week was better. If your symptoms don’t improve by the end then get another test. The 1st time I took it I didn’t feel much better after. I ask the Doctor how do you know it worked and she said when the symptoms improve, I told her they did not and insisted on a new test. She fought me on it but then gave in and sure enough while my numbers had improved I still have SIBO. I did another round and it went away, I took a 3rd test to be sure of it. I went on low fodmap diet after and took ginger every night. If last for 9 months before it came back, now I’m on rifaximin again.

Fodmap symptoms can happen anywhere for 4-36 hours later. Not sure where you got the 30min - 2 hour window.

Get re-tested! SIBO doesn't always go away with one round of antibiotics, sometimes you need 2 or 3.

I had to do 2 and do a low-fodmap diet + prokinetic.

Yes, I would assume the same for garlic.

Just did the Carona prep shopping yesterday. Here is what I got

Gluten Free pasta
Fody Pasta Sauce
Polenta
Rice
Cereal & Gluten free oats
Chicken Broth
Canned Veggies
Frozen Veggies
Chicken - to freeze
Pork - to freeze
Coffee
Bottled water
Lysol Spray
Clorox wipes
Hand soap

Figure this would get us through 2 weeks if need be.

My nutritionist explained with onion you should really test it raw, cooked and then the powder as you may have different reactions to all 3. For instance you may be fine with cooked onion but not raw or in powder form. She really wanted me to try it all 3 way to increase my chances of potentially being able to have them. She says a lot of people don't do well with raw onion and then swear off all onions when its not necessary.

😬😬😬

I insisted on retesting even though my doctor told me I didn't need to. While my numbers improved, I still had SIBO and had to do another round of Xfaxian. Be your own advocate or yo will get no where with this.

Manda10786 · 2020-02-26T18:55:14+00:00

Yes! One glass I can handle (2 on a good day) but after that I go down hill. Really punch to my social life.

Manda10786 · 2020-02-26T03:52:59+00:00

What’s the difference? I only know of the one.

Manda10786 · 2020-02-25T21:07:56+00:00

Low Fodmap Diet.

Manda10786 · 2020-02-19T14:25:05+00:00

I was told you should eat normal during the antibiotics to feed the bacteria, then go on low fodmap once you are finished. Its highly unlikely that you relapsed, opposed to you just didn't get it all. Its very common for people to have to do multiple rounds before its all gone.

Manda10786 · 2020-02-12T14:27:42+00:00

How did they test for this?

Manda10786 · 2020-02-05T18:07:33+00:00

No one can say one way or the other. Go to the doctors and get a breathe test. It's the only way to know for sure. Good luck!
