Lifelong Gut Struggles.... Has anyone else felt like giving up hope?

I’ve been tested for SIBO Many X & was negative.
I took the Xifaxan antibiotic for it anyway . It helped once , 9 years ago but then took it 2 more x & no help . I suffer chronic 7 diff digestive illnesses for 11 years daily . Seen 5 GI Dr’s , had over 20 tests done ☑️. Tried everything under the sun 🌞 they make . Eat tiny ( hate eating ) and healthy. No life to speak of anymore. So I’m not sure that Dr. is right about food poisoning/ causing IBS ?

Wow, you’ve had a lot of tests done without much result. it sounds like you’ve already tried everything, but I have found a little relief with a stomach meditation by generation calm on YouTube. It’s the one that’s 9:58 long. (I know stress is the main cause of my stomach issues, but not 100%) I used to take Belap, which worked very well for my IBS and then they changed it to Donnatal, which was OK but not quite as good and now there’s a new one called Bentyl, which I haven’t tried. Have you ever tried any of those? They basically stop your bowels from contracting too much when you’re stressed. I’m not sure if that’s one of your issues or not. Have you ever tried oil of oregano? I saw that when I was googling solutions for SIBO and it says it can do other things for your gut besides help with that. I’m really sorry you have to deal with all that. It’s impossible to feel well if one can’t eat properly. It sounds like it has ruined your life and I get that. I’m so sorry. 💕
