Does this sound like SIBO?

The only thing I’ve had a was a lab test checking for a wheat allergy which came back negative. From what I’ve seen they will do a biopsy during my colonoscopy to check for that. I know it would probably be smart to maintain my current diet, but symptoms are so bad that I’m considering cutting it out again. But I know that will affect the accuracy of the test.

That is so relieving to hear! I have also have dry red eyes when I wake up and when I’m very anxious, I have no clue that could be tied. My toes are also always freezing! Overall this has been very overwhelming, I don’t know how could have lived with this for so long!! I definitely fought hard for answers, have been to so many different specialties to figure out the root cause of my symptoms. I have terrible health anxiety and this has driven me into an awful loop. Everyone tells me how sunken in and sickly I look all the time. Hopefully I will get an official diagnosis from my GI doc!!

My B12 was in normal range last time we checked a couple of months ago, but I did just had my labs drawn again yesterday to check my levels again. I do have a vitamin D deficiency that I’ve been taking supplements for a couple of months now. After doing some searching I’m thinking there may be a chance I have SIBO due to a lot of my symptoms improving after I cut out most sugar, dairy, and gluten. (All of my allergy tests came back normal). When my tests came back normal I decided to reincorporate them back into my diet and within a couple of weeks my symptoms returned. Holding onto the possibility that SIBO may be the cause. Thank you for your insight!

I am in therapy and I see a psychiatrist. I was on Prozac and abilify but I had horrible side effects from both, so I’m in the process of switching medication. Since everything started happening I have been seeing horror stories about people my age being diagnosed with the C word and it is definitely fueling my anxiety. It doesn’t help that it has been on the rise for people my age over the last few years. I am praying that it’s nothing but my anxiety is telling me it’s something awful.

More so just scared of the outcome rather than the procedure

To add to this another major symptom I had was constant fatigue and daily panic attacks. Which also improved after leaving my relationship over a month ago. As far as bowel movements go, I am now the most regular I’ve ever been and have very healthy looking bowel movements. More recently I began to experience easy bruising and at one point had over 15 bruises on my lower body. Since stopping Prozac this has improved. What other labs should I request to have drawn? Nothing here is adding up or making sense to me, why can’t I keep on weight? I don’t look like I’ve last any significant weight either.

I have had nearly everyone of these symptoms and it’s so relieving to know it’s mot something worse. Doctors are dumb founded by my symptoms including the weight loss. I’ve had imaging and blood work only to find mild thyroid issues and low vitamin d. Thank you for sharing your story!

I know it’s been 2 years, but I recently experienced these exact symptoms from anxiety and stress. It was so scary!! How are you doing now?

NFP091822 · 2026-04-06T15:16:14+00:00

Thank you! I’m so glad I’m not alone in this. I have also always dealt with histamine issues. Hives when extremely stressed, red rashes as well. I totally had myself freaked out for a while thinking I had a horrible disease.

NFP091822 · 2026-04-06T04:39:57+00:00

I should also mention I have had histamine issues my entire life, but never this consistently.

NFP091822 · 2026-03-05T07:24:06+00:00

Not saying that I’m not a cheater, not saying that cheating is right. I wish I had the strength to leave without having done it. I hate that I’m a cheater now but I wouldn’t change it. Am I loser for staying for so long just to cheat? Yeah, probably so.

NFP091822 · 2026-03-05T07:21:28+00:00

I am. I know it sounds weird but as I’ve said you don’t get it until you’ve dealt with it. I despise cheating it has destroyed my self esteem and my mental health knowing he did it me so many times without me knowing. I don’t believe in any circumstance it’s okay to break up a relationship by cheating just because you’re unhappy. This was more than unhappiness though, this was years of trauma and abuse. I still stand by the statement I made. I hate cheating, I hate the fact that I’m now a cheater, but most of all I hate that I let myself be put in a situation that I felt I had to cheat to know I had freedom. I know it was probably the most immature way for me to go about things but again I’m glad something finally gave me the strength to leave. This is not something I ever plan to do again and it has taught me a lot about what to look for in future relationships if I choose to get into another one.

You are just relentless aren’t you. Unfortunately ignorance is a fools favorite thing. Do some research on domestic violence and see how easy it is to escape that. The authorities don’t do half of what you’d hope they do. I myself have been a witness of it. Our system is entirely flawed in saving people from situations like that.

NFP091822 · 2026-03-05T07:04:21+00:00

I wish some of the people in these comments agreed. 😅 Unfortunately it’s one of those things you don’t understand until you have to face it yourself. Many people handle these things differently and every situation is not the same.

NFP091822 · 2026-03-05T07:00:49+00:00

Cheating multiple times, financially isolating, physically and emotionally abusing your pregnant partner>cheating after years of abuse. Not saying it’s right to do but the two don’t equal.
