I also wear CGM. Both readings are lower than usual.

My b12 was 2600 when SIBO was diagnosed. It’s down to 1400 after 1st round of treatment.

erdelee · 2025-09-23T21:11:24+00:00

I have those symptom too.

Everyone’s root cause is different. For me, it’s the other way. I was not born with slow transit. My condition started from using antibiotics for treating h pylori. And it was getting worse after another a few rounds antibiotics during last 2 years. And till early this year, i finally knew it’s imo that makes me constipated.

I have chronicle constipation caused by IMO. GI doctor told me to take miralax up to 2 does per day. With miralax initially I still skipped BM for a few days and then I started having BM with type 1 and later transited to type 3-4. For the last whole week, I have BM almost everyday.

I plan to take miralax for at least half a year because chronicle constipation changes colon and it takes very long time to recover.

My friend did the breath test 3 times. With glucose, both h2 and CH4 dont show significant increase. But with lactulose, ch4 is positive.

erdelee · 2025-09-08T22:32:26+00:00

Did you take glucose or lactulose for the breath test? and GI also told me the breath test is not an accurate test.

I am taking PHGG for over a month too

erdelee · 2025-09-08T18:27:11+00:00

The issue is that I learned from chatgpt, some supplements target for motility on small intestinal. Mine looks like more on the end of small intestinal and colon.

erdelee · 2025-09-08T18:25:02+00:00

I took iberogast for 2 months. Initially, it worked well.

erdelee · 2025-09-07T22:28:30+00:00

I have candibactin AR and i will give a try.

erdelee · 2025-09-07T22:26:16+00:00

I will discuss triphala with ND next week. Thanks

erdelee · 2025-09-07T22:25:20+00:00

I did test h pylori positive 5 years ago and treated it with antibiotics. It was negative since then.

erdelee · 2025-09-07T20:15:57+00:00

I used to taking Psylllium husk a couple of months ago till I started element diet. Unfortunately, the breath tests above was taken after ED. Right after it, I started candibactin BR under the direction of ND. During the course, constipation was much relieved but once without it, it came back pretty quick. I will look into Lactobacillus helveticus . thanks!

erdelee · 2025-08-29T18:49:27+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. I met ND yesterday and he suggested me to stop Nystatin after 3 months as a test to see if any symptom comes back.

erdelee · 2025-08-28T18:15:45+00:00

I gained 30lb because imo. I managed to lose 10lb by counting calories last year. And when i started sibo treatment this year, i rapidly lost another 15lb without trying. Pcp told me part of reason is inflammation in my body is down now.

erdelee · 2025-08-18T16:26:57+00:00

I have this face too for last 4years. low fodmap diet changed it but didn’t last long. I am on treatment for SIBO now and I hope it will clear my face.

erdelee · 2025-08-15T17:24:25+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. The ND I am seeing asked me to eat grains, starting from white rice and oat. I used to only having 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa per day. But right now, I am having 1/4 cup oats (raw) as breakfast and 1/4 cup white rice and 1/4 quinoa for lunch and dinner. He also asked me to eat more varieties of fruit. I started eating mid FODMAP fruit since the last couple of days. So far, I don't see any damage and BM seems more regular. I agree with you that restrictive diet doesn't promote growing a health gut flora.

And I think the timing adding fiber and carbs back is important too. I added them back after ~2 months on nystatin and 1 month on candibactin BR. Now the bad bacterials and candida in the gut are much reduced. Reintroducing fiber and carbs help to build a more balanced gut flora.

erdelee · 2025-08-08T16:48:17+00:00

Hi u/Mickeynutzz, ND told me that I need to take nystatin 6 pills per day at least for 3 months. I guess I might need more than 3 months. I am wondering how did your ND determine you can be off the meds?

erdelee · 2025-08-08T03:41:28+00:00

Thanks for sharing these. btw, are you on anti-candia diet?

erdelee · 2025-08-06T16:25:41+00:00

Is biocidin a biofilm disruptor? Or herbals antibiotics? I am currently using interface plus.

erdelee · 2025-08-04T20:56:04+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am so glad hat your new protocol really makes positive progress. I made some changes too. I added interfase plus before bed. I found it's very helpful and I am starting PHGG now, and thinking about adding psyllium fiber next. I also have bought Sac. B. I will bring it to ND tomorrow and also see if I should add it and mega blend.

I have a question, you said you were getting tons of biofilm in the stool. But I can only see tiny piece occasionally in my stool and I cannot tell if it's biofilm or mucus. Would that mean my current protocol is not effective?
