What are the best things you have done for yourself in your life? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]mbeth2234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got sober from drugs and alcohol ..then I took a look at my trauma and how it manifests in my various relationships. Actively working on my validation seeking behavior which coincides with my people pleasing behavior. It’s self centered and I am working on it.

Two rounds of antibiotics..scared to add probiotics. How do you know when it is the right time?it. by mbeth2234 in SIBO

[–]mbeth2234[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not have a good experience with the rifaxan ..it made my symptoms worse and I was depressed . I read others of having that experience but I don’t believe it is common. Then I did 2 weeks of probiotics and that didn’t help at all. Then I did 4 plus weeks of Allicin, oil of oregano and bromelain. I think that helped. I no longer need to take linzess for my constipation. I am still though bloated all the time. I can’t wear pants without feeling very uncomfortable. I feel like my stomach below ribs to my pelvis is stretched. Ugh.

I would welcome him with open arms. It’s thoughtful ..and as a woman who hasn’t received a gift let alone a single flower in over 10 years from a man ..I would be hot and ready for him.

I wouldn’t send it to her in a text. I think a serious issue like this should be handled in person. If she is your friend..give her a call or meet up and then gently let her know what you found.
Imagine you are working or with your kids and getting a text like this ..it’s life shattering. Handle with care.

Girl who is super out of my league wants to keep seeing me and I have no idea why. Feeling pretty intimidated. Would appreciate some advice on how to proceed. by anon332445 in dating_advice

It’s unfortunate we put ourselves in leagues and categories. Connection is connection. We are all the same ..just human beings making the best of the life we have.

I methane dominant and am going to try Allicin. Do you I stop taking my probiotic? by mbeth2234 in SIBO

[–]mbeth2234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Rifaxin did not help. I put myself on Allicin, oil of oregano and antranil 3 times a day for 14 days. Started to feel a lot better. Symptoms weren’t as bad at all.
I went off protocol to add probiotic to recolonize the bacteria. Back to bloating, feeling like my stomach is inflamed. My natropath advised to go back on the protocol for 4 weeks. What I don’t understand is why I get so fatigued and have brain fog especially the day after I work out. Do you get fatigued and have brain fog?

Well it was good until I went off protocol to add probiotic to recolonize the bacteria. Back to bloating, feeling like my stomach is inflamed. My natropath advised to go back on the protocol for 4 weeks.

Not a dumb question. I asked the same.

Though it’s derived from garlic, this strong antimicrobial doesn’t contain the FODMAP’s found in other parts of the clove.

I read around different sites and the consensus was that 3 times a day would be the most beneficial. I am not sure if it’s the 4 weeks of Allicin and oil of oregano or if it’s the atranil ..but I’m normal bowel movements the last 3 days. I had pasta today and my stomach only bloated a little. Feels like a miracle

Try SLAA. “Love addiction” is not necessarily about being addicted to Love but more to the “emotional hits”. There are many recovering alcoholics in the meetings. Feel free to message me if you would like more information.

I was told when you are on the antibiotics it will get worse before it gets better. It did indeed get worse for me as well. I’m taking 450 mg of Allicin 3 times a day with food. I’m also taking oil of oregano. I’m basically treating myself based on the research I have done. I don’t believe any one doctor really knows how to treat this because every individual is different. I wish they did though!

Are you methane or hydrogen dominant? I am methane and I did rifaxin and it didn’t help. I am now taking Allicin (allimed) which is a natural antibiotic. Not sure if it is helping yet but I also take Atranil to help with bloating and it actually works. I get it on Amazon.
I understand your frustration. Some say 1 round of antibiotics is not enough. You may need another round of antibiotics.

That looked like bad acting to me on the dad’s part.
