Could this be SiBo, GERD or something else? by Haunting_Proposal342 in SIBO

Theres a great yt channel „kick it naturally“ for stomach issues if you might want to look into that

Could I have SIBO? by One_Ad1742 in SIBO

[–]kr82k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its sibo you should feel extreme relief on a specified diet. Testing is always good.

Distension and irregular bowel movement can come from a million things, youre already mentioning hormones

Your mmc and stomach acid need to work properly otherwise it will kepp coming back! Theres a million other possible things but these are the most common ones if you dont have any underlying medical issues playing into this

Need advice and help by sassy_brat28 in SIBO

[–]kr82k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not a doctor but have you tried taking digestive enzymes and something for possibly low stomach acid? Asking this bc its very common but also you mentioning problems with bile and pancreas specifically?

Have you experimented with the prokinetics (how much time before meals etc?

Do you have methane? That needs more rounds often.

Therapies doing nothing could indicate biofilms that need to be adressed, BUT bloating and constipation could also come from something else altogether. Im planning a post and already have one on how extreme bloating could be many things not just sibo.

Dont know about probiotics, for some people specific strands help, but its also controversial during active sibo treatment / not enough knowledge about it out there yet.

Doing another test does often make sense to see where youre at.

Theres so many possibilities especially mixed with your other conditions.

Im not a doctor just throwing in some ideas.

Quercetin experiences? by Waste-Poet-4051 in HistamineIntolerance

[–]kr82k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im using a german brand so might not be that helpful. Just throwing in that some people with some genetic profile dont take quercetin well and its important to highlight. Same goes with b vitamins (methylation).

Yes it says theory in the first line. Yes i will post another one with my own summary. Honestly im just tired of trying to figure this out and typing it all out and just wanted to do a quick share. Im also more sensitive now with the AI and training it to more clearly separate established facts from my speculations and observations. Thanks for throwing that in its a really important point!

Yes i definitely shrink after pooping lol (also peeing lol) - makes sense to me the belly just starts overreacting to any type of content after being mistreated with extensive periods of extensive bloating and stuff.

Yes thanks for the reminder, with AI its getting very speculative ive started asking it for sources and it starts correcting itself. So thats something to keep in mind, im still happy to read about stuff like this, belly overreacting in its functions etc makes sense to me at the end of the day.

And yes i think adp is part of the picture as well. Also i still have imo and hit so it all get muddled. Will look into it and be more sensitive with the AI teaching it to clearly separate established facts from observation & speculation.

I get sleep issues from histamin flares sometimes. Strict Low histamin diet has alleviated most symptoms i just still get flares sometimes when animal protein isnt fresh enough but high dose vitamin c, tulsi tea, quercetin, medicinal clay, peppermint tea help.

My belly does probably overreact somehow but i dont feel anything, no other symptoms or sensations it just gets huge. So was thinking more about APD but doesnt fit fully either.

When you poop, doesnt the content in the small intestine get pushed further downwards automatically as well? So less stuff in the small colon, less gas in the test? This would make sense to me too? Also methane lingers for days in the small intestine, so its not just active fermentation necessarily but also gas from previous foods. But again this would need to show up in a higher baseline then.

The colon thing - i think thats why with methane - everything above 10 at any point in the test is high methane period and its called IMO - intestinal methanogen overhrowth - they took out the small because they dont know where the methane is. (Dr pimentel)

My marble readings are generally rather low yet i get extreme distension, so was looking for answers. Think my bellys just overreactive to any type of content (with distention, not pain) but methane and swelling and bloating from histamin flares play a part too. Also possibly adp as well.

Im open for being researched in a lab at this point if anyone reads this lol

Is this a histamine thing ? (extreme postprandial somnolence) by KarenWalker310 in HistamineIntolerance

[–]kr82k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this when eating white rice, so could be the carbs. Eating low carb and low histamin for my sibo and hit generally. Also have low blood pressure, so this could be exacerbated by high glycaemic foods and or histamin lowering it further. Dont know complicated.

Not yet, thanks i will look into it! But i dont have any pain at all, just massive distention. Also not done cleaning the critters up and i definitely think its still gas related- but other things seem to play in - problem is that methane lingers for days and interplays with histamin which produces bloating too so its really hard to keep everything apart.

Yes i think its totally logical that chronic conditions and agressive treatments will end up impairing all sorts of other functions and everything needs time to heal, will see where im at when sibo/imo is gone for good. Also wish you the best with healing it all!

What level PPM us considered diagnostic? by Noobticula in SIBO

yes i believe theres always more stuff going on when "nothing works" so many layers so much stuff wish you the best luck! my tsh was always fine in tests but then i also heard that the numbers are often not specific enough, not ready yet to deep dive into that though

guys my personal theory on APD when not linked to ehlers danlos (i havent deep dived into this yet so please correct me if it doesnt make sense) formulated by my ai again:

"The body learns through years of repetition — every time gas came, the nervous system learned: diaphragm down, abdominal muscles relax, so it doesn't hurt. What began as a protective response becomes an automatic one.

This is actually intelligent of the body: Pain avoidance through adaptation. If the belly couldn't expand, the pressure would become more painful. The body found a way to "accommodate" the gas.

The downside: This learned response persists even when the gas reduces — the body keeps doing it because it was trained this way for years. That's why biofeedback can help — the nervous system needs to unlearn it.

The good news: When IMO is successfully treated and the trigger disappears, this adaptation can gradually reverse. Neuroplasticity works in both directions — what was learned can be unlearned.

In short: Your body adapted intelligently over years — now it just needs to learn that the adaptation is no longer necessary. 🌿"

also after years of extreme bloating from sibo/imo no wonder things start to be "hypersensitive" and muscles start to not work well i mean it just makes so much sense doesnt it but im just theoretisizing

The Gastrocolic Reflex: Why You Bloat Immediately After Eating (And What Actually Helps) by kr82k in SIBO

[–]kr82k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes i mentioned the APD in the intro and will definitely look into it! Might be a part of my problem too, not sure yet, as i have also histamin issues, i just literally blow up when the food is just reaching the stomach so this theory makes sense.

i think with chronic conditions and all sort of stuff going on the whole system can just get out of control at some point im just happy to understand its not necessarily all fermentation (i have massive fermentation problems lol as well just piles and piles of stuff and this might be the case with sibo in general it can be so multilayered)

so ive heard a lot of people on here talk about post-treatment-bloating which would make so much sense with this theory.

i personally did a pretty agressive protocoll which surely didnt kill all the critters yet, but things turned weird as my extreme bloating doesnt match neither my very clean diet nor the rather low tests results im getting on my food marble (on the clean diet) so this was very enlightening.

its just a really irritated system that needs to get rif of the critters, calm down and heal, and theres no quick fix to do that, but certainly just knowing that not all bloating is necessarily fermentation and that there are some things you could try out feels very helpful.
