Type in "Healthy Gut," and read what the gastroenterologist there says about the medical treatment we are receiving being the exact opposite of what we should have been doing. I was taking Pepcid and Tagamet when they were prescription drugs. By nixing the acid in our gut, the FOOD WASN'T DIGESTING. DUH!!!
I haven't been on the site for a while, but I went there after looking at information about our gut and found a young female surgeon talking about what has helped her. I read what she said about SIBO and you probably could have seen the steam coming out of my ears 50 miles away.
By being on all these antacids we destroyed the make up of our gut and the undigested food sitting there, sometimes for 2-3 days, IS WHAT CAUSED SIBO. We are only supposed to get that bacteria in our intestines, but because the food is staying in our stomach so long we are getting bacteria in our stomach. This infuriated me when I was reading it. 2004 to 2025, and I constantly got worse until I started looking for alternatives online and handling my own situation by learning as much as I can. I went to the Healthy Gut site and there were three products that pop up initially. The first one is something like Tribytrin ( I'm just going off memory), and I can't take that as it has sugar alcohol in it, and that stuff I can't get near. I was reading all the comments said about the products and if you can take the one I just mentioned, the young female surgeon said this stuff worked for her to rid her of SIBO.
While reading about the third one, HCL Guard, I saw where a woman also said it took care of her SIBO. I had gotten to where I was getting hiccups and burping just waking up and laying in bed. AGAIN, NOT ONE WORD FROM MY GASTROENTEROLOGIST WHEN ASKED WHAT IS CAUSING THIS? Then wonder why we are going online and looking for information from others with the same issues.
I bought the HCL Guard, which increases the acid in your gut when you eat a bigger meal. I don't take it daily because I don't eat a big meal daily. I graze throughout the day just trying to get protein at one meal and veggies at another, and my dark chocolate is a must each day for me. I'm not giving that up!!!
I try to take the HCL 1-2 times a week, and the hiccups and burping stopped the first week. I still belch after eating, but this other was when I had not eaten or drank anything.
It's comical to read the way it is written, but you might find one of those three products that pop up when you get on that site could help you. The HCL Guard really made a difference for me, but I've only had it for a couple of months and I never take more then one, wheras you will see they recommend 2, 3, or 4, depending on how it comes out the other end. I can't take probiotics that my gastroenterologist recommended as they cause the worst spastic colon I have ever had in my life.
To answer your question about the stomach implant, I asked, but that doctor said they would rather try the Botox first along with a good probiotic.
