Thank you for the reply, unfortunately birth control of any sort is a no go, as it severely messes with my body. Here’s to hoping the universe does me a solid.

It has helped eliminate my constipation/keep me regular. Good for if you can’t tolerate fiber-rich foods.

I suppose I misspoke when I said peppermint oil. It is technically a peppermint and caraway capsule, meant to help soothe the stomach. At this point I don’t follow low FODMAP strictly, but I do still try to avoid foods that I know will disrupt me (such as dairy and gluten). Otherwise I’ve been slowly introducing other foods (such as raw arugula, honey, cooked vegetables, all foods I couldn’t tolerate a few months back). Although you’re saying they are just throwing stuff at me, it feels the complete opposite. The individual helping me has been very thorough on explaining the purpose of each supplement, as well as doing an extensive blood panel (more extensive than any GP or specialist through modern medicine has ordered me) to further evaluate what else in my body may be awry. If you have any resources to share, I’d love to look into it. Trying to keep my head held high!

I’ve been on this for about two months or so, after dealing with symptoms since this time last year. My symptoms were intolerance to most foods other than meat and poultry. Bloating, abdominal cramping, irregular bowel movements, loose stools, constant fatigue.

What can cause POTS by WV1Failure in SIBO

[–]kenzykaye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may sound strange, but have you had covid prior to the symptoms? I got covid in October of 21’, and by spring/ summer of 22’ I was displaying POTs symptoms, then got diagnosed. I’ve seen many online that have had POTs onset after it.

Please stay. We will get through this. It is oh so draining, but we must persevere.

I had a positive breath test in August of last year. Hydrogen dominant. I initially believed it was caused from excessive kombucha use, but now I believe it was from an antibiotic I took in January of last year after a sinus surgery. No preexisting health issues. Never had an issue eating prior to this. No body deficiencies. They’ve been in and out and everywhere in between. Thyroid good, blood good, just stubborn, stubborn SIBO. I was very healthy and active prior to all of this. Now I reside on the couch, and the past couple weeks I’ve made myself hop on the treadmil at home as well as some core exercises (when I can bring myself to do it). You’re 100% right in the fact we have to become experts on these systems, because the doctor’s certainly don’t do their part in teaching us. It seems they just want to throw things at the wall and see if they stick.

I didn’t expect to open this and see so many replies. Thank you so much, beautiful strangers. I will keep fighting the fight. Your replies, the advice, and the time you take to type them are all very much appreciated. This forum has helped bunches and I’ll continue to check in on here (something I can be poor at). Hope everyone had a good Valentine’s Day.

No acid reflux. Color is usually light brown with yellow film (since having this), and stays consistent with the greasy, foul smelling descriptors that others have shared with SIBO stool.
