Herbals for SIBO

Posted by johnbluffside @johnbluffside, Nov 17, 2022

Dx with SIBO thru hospital controlled test. However no diarhea or constipation. Brain fog, abdominal pain, fatique and joint pain, stiffness/ pain neck & back. Ongoing 3 years every test imaginable only test that was positive was a blood test and showed high inflammatory markers. Tried Lowfodmap diet with a dietician . Tried hypnotherapy in person and tapes. Tried 6 different anyidepresssnts horrible side effects.
Accupunture & massages.

Tried xifian numerous times. Always comes back. Wondering safety of using herbals? GI doesn’t believe in them .
Apple cider vinegar
Candibactin AR & BR
Allicon
Beeberine
Biofilm/ biofilm disruptor
Dysbiocide / Biotics Research
Anyone have similar experience?
Thank you!

My experience is you need to take biofilm disruptors along with herbals or antibiotics. I would suggest finding a holistic dr who can help you with herbals and treatment.

The last time I talked to a medical professional about the cause for SIBO, she told me that no one knows for sure, that it *might* be caused by injury to the abdomen or intestinal area.

Hi @h8bigbiz I've not had any abdominal/intestinal injuries but broke 9 ribs 6/5/21.
3 healed incorrectly, that chronic pain is something I have to live with. 🙁 As for SIBO...I keep 'retracing my steps' food/symptoms/health wise—it might be something I'll never pinpoint but there's got to be a better way to live than this.

I have horrendous digestive disorders. Been to 6 Gastros even Mayo Clinic Jacksonville for many tests . 7 diagnoses tried everything they make under the sun for it .
I just got told and ordered http://www.seed.com ( it’s a pre/ probiotic) that’s not like anything on market .
It’s a subscription, that you can cancel anytime $49.00 month free shipping .
There is a disc code for 20 percent off online (just google it ). Go to the site and read about it .
I just started so I’m praying after my body gets used to it , it will start to help . I’m chronic sick 🤢 daily and nightly . Good luck 🍀

No it didn’t work . I’ve tried multiple other supplements for gastrointestinal issues since .
Nothing works .
Still chronic , daily ….
Started low dose antidepressant ( 4 th one I’ve tried ) since Oct 2023 . It’s not helping my symptoms but I get less crying 😢 bouts now .
I have my 4 th Colonoscopy & Endoscopy in Orlando w/ newest Gastro Dr on Mar 1 st .
She thinks it’s a Functional Disorder ( Even though I have 7 other diagnoses).
So very hard . Thanks for asking .

Hi there,

I have a gut that perhaps gets bacterial, fungal or parasitic problems from raw produce. Now I basically eat all such cooked and the problems do not reoccur. My symptoms were gnawing pain and sickly BMs.

A holistic doctor always fixed me up until years later I started heating or cooking my produce. She may be worth a try and does her work at her office or by phone. For the last decade, my appointments have been by phone.

Thanks , I’ve gone the FM Dr Route . None of the Drs can actually figure out why my symptoms are so horrendous daily .
I’ve tried it all as you read .
Done every test too .
Have 7 diagnoses , have next endoscopy colonoscopy Mar 1 st . Not sure if they will find out more than they know already? No treatment holistic or RX or supplemental works . It’s hard ;(

HI, I've got through a SIDO crisis. Antibiotics, for a couple. of weeks.
I did not do well, as the weakening effect was huge. I. switch to Berberine - Olive and origane oil and a strict diet and recover my health. Im not sure about the post SIBO diet, as I would not like to go through again. Any advice?.
Im still taking Berberine.
