Relentless bile reflux / pain

Hi Saucy. It's been 3 years since you made this comment... i'm wondering how you are feeling now and if you've remained on a carnivore diet, or if you've been able to reintroduce some plant foods without symptoms. I have had similar symptoms to the original poster above for years. Even had my gallbladder out last year due to low HIDA scan result. Gastritis is worse now. I know that gas buildup and/or slow motility in the S.I. is the underlying cause of my bile reflux, but I haven't been able to find a diet to fix it. Pure carnivore is tough for me because my stomach is already inflamed. High protein and fat stimulate more acid and bile which then irritates the tissue. PPI, sucralfate, DGL, eating small meals often have all helped take the edge off the pain but aren't actually fixing the issue.

I even went to Mayo a few months ago and they ran a bunch of breath tests and an Esophageal Impedance test on me. Zero useful results and zero guidance from them other than "maybe constipation is playing a role in symptoms"

I’ve been dealing with stomach issues ever since they removed my gallbladder. It made my IBS 1000 times worse. Then last November I started having my food feel like it goes up into my chest and it came on very suddenly after I had eaten some coconut milk yogurt. I think I might have SIBO. I wonder if you could also. I don’t like to take antibiotics because I’m allergic to most of them, so I’m thinking of trying oil of oregano. I might check with a naturopathic physician first. I’m vegan, so I’m on an all vegetable diet, but one thing that really seems to be killing my stomach are sweet potatoes of all things. I mean, there are some days when I just can’t eat anything, but I notice they make me feel worse. I put all my food in the blender and that helps. I do occasionally eat some canned salmon, so I can get enough protein, but it takes forever to get digested. Good luck to you.
