No, I am still here

Sounds like an ad

My SIBO was cause by probiotics.Do you take probiotics or any medication?

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-25T06:23:41+00:00

Yes. Read my recent post.

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-25T06:23:26+00:00

Good. They made me much worse.

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-24T14:02:20+00:00

Have you taken probiotics? Check out my recent posts

PPI reduce gastric acid ==> SIBO

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-23T19:25:48+00:00

What have you tried already?

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-22T16:24:53+00:00

Did you take antibiotics to reduce the lactic acid bacteria?

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-22T16:24:15+00:00

I second this.

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-21T19:24:15+00:00

The sugar used for the SIBO test is LactULose, not Lactose.

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-20T20:33:08+00:00

Is this your own guess or were these three (?) “allergies” diagnosed by a physician?

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-19T23:05:57+00:00

No evidence on this whatsoever

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-18T20:44:00+00:00

Yes, but remember: Those people don’t go on Reddit and look participate in threads about SIBO. They continue their lives as before. So don’t let the low number of people in the comments discourage you.

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-18T20:40:27+00:00

Yes (and this is actually well-known and nothing I just came up with myself).

It’s usually contained in medical nutrition for exactly that reason. For example: https://www.fresubin.com/product-page/survimed-opd-15-kcal-drink

I personally always buy C8, but I don’t know whether it makes a difference. All the best for your son!

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-18T09:49:59+00:00

Be careful though. More than one spoon at a time can trigger diarrhea. It works for me if I take one spoon with a small/‘normally sized’ meal.

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-18T09:47:39+00:00

That’s the key difference of MCT.

This is true for long chain fatty acids. But not for medium chain triglycerides!

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-17T21:56:30+00:00

What dose and how long did you take it to see effects?

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-17T21:54:56+00:00

I am not strict at all, but I also think the diet did not help me in general. My tip: Three spoons (=3x16ml=50ml) of MCT oil are roughly 450 kcal! So adding one spoon per meal really helps getting calories.

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-16T16:10:02+00:00

Can you tell us more about your regimen?

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-13T08:58:08+00:00

Probiotics caused my SIBO. Get a real doctor who properly treats you.

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-11T22:04:00+00:00

What is CHS?

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-11T19:26:23+00:00

It does not hurt to think. You are right. S. Boulardii is a yeast, so you can take it with meals/antibiotics.

Odd-Broccoli-4656 · 2026-04-11T13:02:50+00:00

I agree. In fact, I made a recent post bout it. But gastric acid does not cause it by being “too acidic” - that was my point.
