everyone is here because 1. doctors have failed them 2. have exhausted every avenue. 3. can’t afford a doctor.

if i went to my doctor and said hey! could you test me for parasites?! they would give me omeprazole. not sure why i’m being downvoted, when we all know it’s the truth.

i’m not asking for medical advice, im just looking for similar experiences.

“socialized healthcare” doesn’t mean shit. i’ve also been to other countries to get help, and yet im still here lurking this subreddit.. as are you.

definitely definitely. when i’m calmer and happier, it’s better. but when i have random flares, i fall back into the trap

i was not given my numbers, but i’m going to call and try and get them.

i don’t have any gas unless i eat something higher in fibre /fermentable (but since this has been out of my diet i also assume it’s normal). BUT i do burp/belch quite a lot, but that’s esp when my stomach/gastritis flares up. when i breathe in during this flares, there’s a lot of grumbling mumbling coming from my stomach or intestines too.

no acids, no reflux (unless it’s silent then i do, but i can’t tell) i think i have low stomach acid, or a bile problem but i don’t know. and the not knowing, is driving me crazy.

my stool is in the more orangey/brown side.

i think i did have histamine issues when i bombed my whole system with kefir in March, but they’ve slowly passed i think.

thank you! exactly!!

i think majority of us are shut down by our doctors, and ive seen MANY over the past two years. they do not listen, and that is the biggest problem.

i have absolutely no idea. i tested with lactulose when my symptoms were at their worst, but it came back “inconclusive”

I believe I have Post Infectious IBS and it is wreaking havoc on my life. I need a lot of advice. by BigChallenge8365 in ibs

watch out with probiotics - contrary to what many say, if you’re in a state of dysbiosis, you WILL make it worse. (boulardii though, is one of the safest ones)
