    Unfortunately I do. Anything that feeds gut bacteria messes me up. Antibiotics make me feel better for a bit but it always comes back. My only diagnosis is ibs, I’ve tested negative for sibo multiple times.

    I used to be able to tolerate things like tomatoes and certain berries, even small amounts of lactose like in cheese. Little bits of garlic powder when used sparingly as a seasoning.

    Not anymore though

      Damn. As someone with Crohn’s, I understand what it’s like, but that sounds way worse than my condition.

      I’ve been thinking about doing a low FODMAP diet to identify any triggers, but I can’t imagine having to do it all the time.

        Tested for hydrogen and methane, unfortunately gastros just diagnosed it as ibs and don’t even test for sibo here. I paid out of pocket and worked with naturopaths to get it done, but they only had a glucose/lactulose test that wasn’t triosmart.

        I’ve since developed histamine issues as well after having covid, so it’s been a great time.

            Could very well be, unfortunately doctors don’t take it seriously and naturopaths pretend to know more but really don’t, and have less options available for treatment. I’ve tried herbal treatments to no success, so I’m kind of stuck living with what I’ve got. Unless I travel to the states for treatment or buy myself some rifaximin online on my own or something I’m kind of SOL. Not comfortable self prescribing antibiotics to be honest.
