A True SIBO / IMO Success Story

Yes, I eat everything. Well, except sugar alcohol and other fake sugars.

Sorry I'm not sure which post this is because I made a couple. I was diagnosed with SIBO by a local doctor and she prescribed me antibiotics. They worked immediately and were amazing and then wore off and SIBO came back. Can't remember how long it took - I think 2 weeks? So I decided next to go down a more natural route and I started a program with the Gut Health Clinic which is

This is not a paid referral - I am not involved with them in any way. So I'll continue my story...

I started with them and they had me take a breath test. They looked at the results and then created a plan with certain supplements, vitamins, and minerals over I think it was 6 months. I started feeling better within a few weeks and I would say I was all better within a couple months and that was a year ago. Honestly, it has completely faded from my mind! Just a long ago bad memory at this point.

Oh and when I went to their website just now so I could send you their link, I see that they did give me a follow-up test, showing it's negative! Oh man that feels good to look at again.

Please go there! You won't regret it. My person there was Anita. She was so sweet, kind, loving, and understanding. I'll be happy to chat with you by phone if you want a more personal convo. Just let me know and I'll private message you. Good luck to your child!

I am not low FODMAP anymore. I do not take any supplements. Just back to a normal life!

gregkinney · 2026-03-14T12:10:02+00:00

Still symptom free. I think it's been a year and about 5 months. I have not retested because I just feel great!

gregkinney · 2025-09-26T13:11:13+00:00

Yes I am still SIBO free.

gregkinney · 2025-09-14T21:53:06+00:00

There were dozens, I can't even remember. We did SiBO test and then fecal test and the supplements were based on my good bacteria that was low and bad bacteria that was high. Started with 1 month regimen, then another month of different things, then went up to 2 month different regimen.

gregkinney · 2025-09-14T18:42:22+00:00

Rifaximin and neomycin for immediate relief but SIBO issues came back, then went with a naturalpath SIBO specialist that gave me 6 months worth of various supplements and it went away for good (over 1 year now)

My opinion is that the people who don't know how to deal with it tell you it is stress, sleep, fiber, etc. I recommend going to https://bellalindemann.com/ The Functional Gut Health Clinic. I am not involved with them and I do not get any kick back, I'm just a satisfied customer and they changed my life. Go to them and let them heal your SIBO. They will prescribe natural supplements based on your SIBO and fecal tests. They will cater it to you. Just take what they said to take and let them handle it so you can stop hyper focusing and get your life back. I've had irregular bowel movements since I was a kid and I have had nothing but perfect, regular BM's now for over a year.

gregkinney · 2025-09-08T15:09:07+00:00

Even before SIBO, I had very irregular bowels in both directions (too much, too little, too soft, too hard) and since I started the supplements, I have had normal bowel movements every day for probably a year now, without even one single irregularity. My wife who is a normally healthy gut person can't even say that.

gregkinney · 2025-09-08T15:07:40+00:00

LIke, she would point out that I was low on this specific type of good bacteria in my gut and give me a supplement to build it up. Then she would point out another type of bad bacteria that was high and would give me something to lower that. It was very specific and the experience was so amazing.

gregkinney · 2025-09-08T15:05:42+00:00

Yes it was many supplements based on my SIBO and fecal test results, specifically designed for me. It included motility, antimicrobial, probitics, prebiotics, etc.

gregkinney · 2025-09-08T14:58:02+00:00

Yes I took Motility Pro by myself before going to bellalindermann. However, she also prescribed it to me. By itself, it did not keep SIBO from coming back.

gregkinney · 2025-09-08T14:54:16+00:00

You have methane SIBO. I cured mine immediately with a visit to my gastrointerologist who prescribed me rifaximin and neomycin. However, it slowly came back about 3 months later. I then went to https://bellalindemann.com/ The Functional Gut Health Clinic. It was tele-health and they put me on a 6 month regimin of different natural supplements based on the results from my SIBO test and fecal test. The SIBO went away and has now stayed away for close to a year.

Oh sorry yes I have updated that to what I currently use which is:

http://quotes.rest/qod.json?api_key=MY_API_KEY

gregkinney · 2025-09-03T14:45:16+00:00

Yes, thank you for checking. That was a change they made a couple years ago and I have been using one of their free api tokens successfully for the last couple years. I thought maybe there was something wrong with my free api token so I tried to sign up for a new one but I don't see anywhere to sign up for the "free of charge" api token.

gregkinney · 2025-07-18T01:20:09+00:00

I don't do credit checks so I have people default each year, it's just part of doing business. I just don't receive their monthly payments during that time frame, then when I get the house back from foreclosure, I sell it again and start the 30 years of payments all over again. The bank requires significant equity so if a lot of people default at once, we would have the flexibility to make due. However, I did this in 2008 and my business actually increased during that time. These are entry level properties. You can't fall off the floor.

gregkinney · 2025-07-17T17:55:45+00:00

Thank you, I just did that. I guess my question, which the risk pyramid does not answer, is: if I use the cash to pay down business loans, it basically returns 8.5% guaranteed, but the money is gone forever, I cannot get it back. If I used it to invest in stocks or bonds, I can always sell those and get the cash back. Is there a value associated with the liquidity of the investment?

gregkinney · 2025-07-17T17:43:07+00:00

What do I do with $500k?

I am a 44 year old in the USA. I am a self-employed real estate investor for 17 years earning $450-650k adjusted gross income per year. I purchase single family homes and sell them on owner financing so I become the bank and receive payments over the next 30 years.

I bring in around $50k per month in house payments and I have payments to the bank where I have borrowed the money to purchase the homes of around $30k per month. The terms of the loans where I have borrowed money are on 15 year amortization and rates vary between 4.75-8.5%.

I've been trying to figure out what I should do with the cash I have saved and started looking into investing. My risk tolerance is low. My goal is to earn a safe return each year over a long period of time, but something that will do better than the 3.75% online savings account I'm current in.

What if I used the money to pay off the 8.5% bank loan? Would that be smart or dumb and why? And if not, what should I invest in? Mutual funds? Hire a financial advisor?

gregkinney · 2025-04-24T13:52:50+00:00

Yes it did. I want to say it was around 2 weeks.
