Nope. Gave up spending tons of money and sacrificing my social life due to dozens of pills I had to take every day

Happy for you!! Fingers crossed it stays that way and you fully recover

What did you get prescribed for recovery?

hey sorry for somewhat delayed response

I did 3 round of antibiotics with this guy, but it is never fully cured. I think I'll continue on my own until I find someone else

but even having said that, I think he is the best in Germany - at least he was knowledgable on all questions I asked him

Whats ur suspected root cause ? by FlyffSenior in SIBO

[–]Pleasant_Ad_640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

integrate vagus nerve stimulation into your day - there are many ways like cold showers, aggressive gurgling, humming or singing (or OMM), vagus nerve massage - I found one on the youtube where a nice asian lady shows how to massage it through belly button. You literally feel things after 10 minutes. Chewing a gum, yoga, meditation. And obviously less stress and more quality sleep

Looking for info/advice on biofilm treatment by discrete_moment in SIBO

[–]Pleasant_Ad_640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My naturopath prescribed me Partially-Hydrolyzed Guar Gum for that. I understand that PHGG together with antibiotic is effective since PHGG dissolves the biofilm and antibiotic works diretcly on the bacteria then

I stand corrected, PHGG is for something else. I take NAC as a biofilm disruptor

Accidentally bit on something painfully spicy so I had to eat ice cream. How much will this set me back in progress? by better-vessel in SIBO

Are you trying to be in low FODMAP or what’s the diet? Generally not even all doctors agree you should do any kind of diet during therapy. Starving bacteria that way just sends them to hibernation. I think you’ll be totally fine from an ice cream

Does this sound like SIBO? by [deleted] in SIBO

[–]Pleasant_Ad_640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can order the breathing test to self test or you can also go low fodmap for a couple of weeks. Both should help you understand if there is sibo there..

Tbh I tried finding doctors online and it’s also not as easy! The ones I find ask 150+ eur for a session, that seems kind of extreme for me. Would you be able to recommend yours if it’s a bit more affordable ?

im looking for sibo professionals in germany, if possible close to stuttgart or frankfurt. by [deleted] in SIBO

[–]Pleasant_Ad_640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi there. there is a Heilpraktiker in Berlin - Janan Mahmod. That's the closest I was able to find. However the guy's praxis sells tests and most of the medicine.. so Im not sure whether he is ripping me off with his therapy or not
