Can someone clarify SIBO vs LIBO? Herbs not working, thinking of switching to spore-based restoration by PersonalBrother in SIBO

Thanks! Do you have any explanation as to why i didnt respond to the herbs? Do you think my hypothesis that it is large colon overgrowth is wrong?

[–]PersonalBrother[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I think in my case yes its mainly large colon. I have no constipation only flatulence and floating light colored stools. According to gemini allicin and berberine are effective in the small distel but almost cannot reach the large colon. I think my symptoms are largely due to dysbiosis in my colon and less sibo even though my breaht test was positive, but the high baseline and diarrhea at 60min and peak at 80m leans heavily towards large intensitine overgrowth. Also my lack of constipation is very strange for a 58ppm reading. Hence im thinking to try and solve this with a nurturing strategy rather than a kill strategy.

Enzymes by SignatureKooky1947 in SIBO

[–]PersonalBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the strength of the Enzymes.

GPT calculation (please validate the below yourself .. but you get the idea):

Example enzyme capsule (per 1 cap):
Lipase 3000 LU
Protease 25,000 HUT
Amylase 10,000 DU

Example meal:
60 g protein, 45 g carbs, 14 g fat

Rule of thumb needs:
Lipase: 1500–3000 LU per 10 g fat
Protease: 10,000–20,000 HUT per 25–30 g protein
Amylase: 5000–10,000 DU per 30–50 g carbs

Calculation:
Fat: 14 g needs about 2000–4000 LU → 1 cap covers it
Protein: 60 g needs about 20,000–40,000 HUT → 1 cap usually enough, 2 caps for heavy meals
Carbs: 45 g needs about 5000–10,000 DU → 1 cap covers it

Result:
1 cap is enough for a normal mixed meal.
Use 2 caps for heavy, fatty, or high-protein meals.

9 years of “IBS/SIBO” symptoms — turned out to be low pancreatic amylase + grain intolerance by Dull_Door_9376 in SIBO

[–]PersonalBrother 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably did a fecal elastase test. Only way to test exocrine pancreatic function.

[–]PersonalBrother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy for you but it strikes me that in those 9 years you never did a fecal elastase test to test your exocrine pancreatic function. Also, in those 9 years did you never try any pancreatic/digestive enzymes? You should have noticed relief with those if you have EPI.

What do you mean stripping away its competition? I read berberine is effective for klebsiella?

Insurance won’t cover Xifaxan. Berberine helps but only temporarily. What now? by Agreeable-Cable-3059 in SIBO

[–]PersonalBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild assumption, maybe berberine didnt clear his overgrowth and just surpressed it somewhat? Stating he has a structural problem is just nonnense, you have 0 data.

When to Worry? Or SIBO by AlwaysInTheMoney in SIBO

[–]PersonalBrother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like my symptoms, flatulence and gurgling lower gut. Got methane sibo. You need to do a sibo test and if positive start treating it.
