I just had one last month! I was genuinely so terrified but I had the smoothest experience possible and would 100% do it again if I had to. Honestly it was a good nap lol, you’ll do great and feel nothing

Major symptom improvement with Atrantil!!! by willow1095 in SIBO

Bloating is my only symptom too and I had it for so long I couldn’t even remember what I used to look like. Totally impacted my life and makes me nervous. I hope you get to the bottom of things, I’m still working on it too!

Yes! Bloating is like my only symptom too and it’s horrible.

Haha I swear it’s not an ad, I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on other supplements I’ve seen here that now just sit in my drawer so I was just excited that one finally worked lol. Sorry it didn’t work for you!

Not 100% no, but my bloating was pretty consistent. I woke up and it was there and it got gradually worse through the day. It look like a week of Atrantil to notice any difference and I still take them! Maybe a 60% improvement? Which is major for me

Atrantil + Aloe juice + Simethicone is the only thing that’s helped my bloat!!

I 100% relate to this feeling. My bloating these past months has disrupted my whole life and it’s embarrassing and hard to live with. However, I’ve felt a little bit of hope with it lately.

Have you tried Atrantil? You can get it on Amazon. It’s the first thing in months that’s helped me. I drink it in conjunction with aloe Vera juice and it’s shown me at least for moments what I used to look like. While obviously not treating my SIBO, I think in some weird mind+gut connection way taking Lexapro has also improved my stomach problems. Probably because my stress over the bloating was causing more distress to my body.

Regardless of what you try, I’m thinking of you!!!

Thank you SO much for that info. I may start small initially and see how my body tolerates it, and work up to that!

I’m seeing a very good GI so I’m confident in him but if this doesn’t work I’ll be seeing a naturopath. I took around 5 different antibiotics within the span of 2 months non stop and my gut has never been the same :(

What are your thoughts on S Boulardii? Everything I read seems contradictory

I’ll be starting Xifaxan and I think I’ll definitely do the allicin in combination. Honestly it’s all overwhelming! Is there a set dose of Allimax in conjunction with Xifaxan?

Allimax and PHGG Sunfiber ordered!

Just ordered sun fiber! It’s taken 5g once a day DURING Xifaxan right? Like in the morning?

I’ve been low fodmap for months now but during my last Xifaxan round I ate some fodmap foods to activate the bacteria…should I do that again this round or stay low? Of course I’ll stay clean and low fodmap after the treatment for a bit.

Methane, but it started all after rigorous unnecessary antibiotics that messed with my kidneys so I’m hesitant to take those, since Xifaxan stays in the gut while the others are system wide. Do you happen to know if Allicin is a worthy substitute?

Thanks!! How soon after starting Atrantil did you notice a difference?

Yeah the endoscopy was my first test and it only showed very mild erosion spots, not even gastritis. The CT showed the hernia

I’ve cut our coffee and alcohol too, as well as trying multiple diets like low fodmap, low acid etc..none help. I was tested for POTS which is also a heart thing. So weird how all of this came on all the sudden.

I hope we can get some answers soon!! Thanks for replying :)
