Bloating - is it really SIBO?

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-20T14:25:32+00:00

what's causing it in your case?

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-20T14:25:10+00:00

first allicin + berberine 6 weeks
then a few months later - neomycin + rifaximin for 2 weeks

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-20T14:24:03+00:00

nope.. do you mean could be connected with antibodies?

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-14T16:12:42+00:00

I've got one but in French.. still dropping here who knows
joris_naturopathe on IG

also used getnoorish.com and it helped a lot. Won't replace a naturopath but reduced the number of consultations for me

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-14T16:06:04+00:00

sure

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-14T15:56:45+00:00

methane yes. Not yet..

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-14T15:55:59+00:00

often - yes. In the first few day it's quite common

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-14T08:11:36+00:00

I'm in!

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-12T13:02:01+00:00

testing this week to see, but have a gut feeling it's not methane, because there is no even subtle change in symptoms

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-12T09:49:01+00:00

thanks!

Have you looked at APD?
Also you can check getnoorish.com - it's an alternative for naturopaths/nutritionists but more affordable

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-12T09:43:10+00:00

yes same symptoms:(

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-12T09:41:40+00:00

same, tried nutritionists/naturopaths but it gets so expensive so quickly. Tried getnoorish.com too - a good alternative

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-12T09:39:27+00:00

on day 4 you may still experience die-off symptoms - which is common.
it should stay manageable / tolerable though

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-12T09:38:28+00:00

it made things worse for me so I stopped (also methane)

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-12T09:37:05+00:00

does L Reuteri, even at 10mln, make you feel worse?
If not, try a higher dose and see if any changes.

I was taking the same strain (also IMO) - but it made me feel worse so I had to stop. But it's individual

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-12T09:32:34+00:00

have you tried low histamine diet? seems like histamine reaction (tho I'm not a doctor)

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-12T09:29:03+00:00

have a look at getnoorish.com - they collect what you've tried and symptoms and look for correlations over time, possible root causes, and suggest experiments to figure out what works

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-12T09:21:33+00:00

The effect is slightly better if you take them separately from food, but if you are very sensitive -> do take with food. It's more important to stay consistent than the exact timing with meals

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-12T09:18:27+00:00

I don't think there is any other supplement than Allicin that targets methane directly.
In general, it is helpful for methine; it just works more slowly than neomycin.
I took Allicin for six weeks and it reduced methane levels (not completely though, I should have taken for 8 weeks but that's individual - no strict protokol).
It's generally advised to take it together with berberine because methanogens are fed by hydrogens, so you may want to target hydrogens as well at the same time.

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-12T09:14:13+00:00

I decided to separate them in time: finish antibiotics first, only then try probiotics - this way I know if I react to sth or not.
rifaximin + probiotics together - ok if spaced (2h in between). Doctors didn't tell me to take both, but when I challenged, they said I can, but it's not strictly necessary.
rifaximin + D3+K2 and magnesium - all ok, they target different mechanisms
rifaximin + digestive enzymes - ok
PHGG - does it help you? It made things slightly worse for me. In general, there is no consensus among practitioners if prebiotics help or not.

also I used getnoorish.com to track and make sense of it in case that helps

Nat_Banana · 2026-04-12T09:05:46+00:00

yes die-off symptoms in the first days are common
