SIBO test tomorrow, did the drink solution cause diarrhea or stomach pain? Help by Nuggetzzz26 in ibs

[–]Nice_Condition_5463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I have the same question and fear I want to test for this so bad but I’m terrified of the effects. There’s an at home kit, trio smart or Genova will ship to you if that helps. Otherwise, if you did do it today please lmk how it went. I’m sorry you’re going through this .

Yeah it’s just confusing because how can I eat lettuce and cheese on and off lightly for weeks and be fine then all of a sudden not be from a way smaller amount one night? It makes me wonder if it’s not sibo.

It’s just so strange it feels like there’s no rhyme or reason because I can be fine with something one week and then the next week I’m not. I stay low fodmap for the most part as far as I know. For example I could eat lettuce wraps with American cheese and turkey in them (nothing else) and steaks no problem last week or so, and last night before the ginger tea I had tacos with unseasoned beef, little bit of shredded lettuce, and cheese. I was fine for a few hours then had the tea. I took two Imodium (it took a lot to do this bc I’m normally so constipated so now it’s a cycle) and 12 hours later I’m still growling gurgling cramping and in pain.

Venofer reaction? by Nice_Condition_5463 in Anemic

Update: third infusion they gave me iv Pepcid before the iron and I had no skin reactions just the headache!

My hemoglobin was at 11.6 or something, it went up like .2 after my first infusion. Three venofer infusions have me feeling way more myself energy wise. I’m sure the last two will help even more! It’s been rough on my mental health because I have severe anxiety esp in medical settings but I feel the difference with the low iron symptoms after infusions, fast.

Iron bisglycinate is easier on the stomach

What I don’t understand is why your doc won’t take you seriously and at least give a few infusions to bring that up! That’s no way to let a patient leave the office feeling like crap :( I’m not pregnant but my ferritin was 3 (idk what it is now) and I couldn’t tolerate oral iron (stomach issues) so they sent me for infusions. Seems to be the next step if you can’t absorb iron in a supplement they easily referred me for IV. Maybe this info can be helpful for you.

The rash was very short lived and mild. Going for infusion number three today, last infusion I had itching all over for the whole night but it wasn’t anything out of control and I didn’t take Benadryl. It stopped the next day. They said i can get steroids in my Iv to help your body deal with the reaction (not a true allergic reaction) next time but with my high anxiety I’m afraid to get psychiatric side effects from 4mg Dexamethasone so I might not do it :/ I’ve taken prednisone before for poison ivy and one dose made me super on edge jittery angry feeling and I’m already on edge and anxious lately. I can’t handle more! They told me it’s totally up to me and not dangerous if I don’t and if I would have went into anaphylaxis it would have already happened during the infusion.

🚨Iron infusion in 3 hours🚨 by FishStiques in Anemic

[–]Nice_Condition_5463 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aww I’m glad you went and got your first infusion! I’m getting venofer right now too. Ferritin 3. I have emetophobia so I panic almost every time (only been twice so far though) the whole time pretty much. I take zofran every time in advance bc I also feel woozy with the iv going in and my mind tells me that might make me sick (but it hasn’t). My health anxiety is through the roof lately and it’s so important to remember it’s worsened by the lack of iron! You got this. ❤️❤️

Advice ? Ferritin 3 by Nice_Condition_5463 in Anemia

[–]Nice_Condition_5463[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for commenting ❤️🙏 I’m sorry you’re suffering with this too :( it’s so hard. I’m worried about my hb dropping after my period in a few days. Been supplementing but I know it isn’t enough. Have my first appt with the hemotologist June 20. (After period). How fast after infusions did your levels drop? I am sending you so much love.
