I was tested and it was negative. Also went to Mayo nutritionist, they are old school and didn't have a clue about diet for SIBO or Fm. Just gave me handout for FODMAP. Also asked about items on the list that raise my blood sugar (when I get off my diet my A1c goes up). She gave me the Mayo diet which was all carbs!! You have to do all the research yourself like I said before doctors only know how to administer drugs. Your SIBO is probably caused by the intolerances in your diet. Once you get the bad bacteria in you system it wrecks havac. I've been studying nutrition for the last several years in hopes to get my license and help people get through this. I mentioned the books that have helped me and the KETO diet pretty much eliminates all the foods I can't eat. They love to tell us to eat fruits its good for us but it really isn't, it's sugar no matter how you cut it. You can take some supplements and one that has really helped me is Collagen. I put 2 scopes in my coffee in the morning. Also great for your skin and hair!! This is a great sight to share ideas. Possibly after your gall bladder surgery you were given antibiotics in your IV, that can cause all kinds of digestive issues. Just keep searching, you will find all the answers!

"Also went to Mayo nutritionist, they are old school and didn't have a clue about diet for SIBO or Fm" Yeah, that's an understatement. At least you got a handout for FODMAP! And yep, I was also told to eat 3 meals a day, eat lots of fruit and fiber (makes me miserable). My doc told me he didn't want me on a restrictive diet because their primary goals is for me to gain weight. BUT - the main reason I can't gain weight is because it's uncomfortable to eat, so it's like a vicious cycle.
My symptoms sure fit the SIBO pattern, and I also have very slow small intestine transit (which can occur with SIBO -either contributes to it, or because of it, i.e makes sense b/c it would help bacteria stay up there, and am also having bile reflux up into my stomach which is damaging it. Seems like a big back log to me... and logically seems "unclogging" by eliminating the bacteria could only help.
Well that is great what you are doing, especially having been through it yourself, lord knows we need a knowledgable nutritionist!
Yes, possibly re: the gallbladder surgery, and for sure after a hysterectomy I had later (they thought might help the pain - it didn't). I had IV antibiotics then and I remember the first time I was supposed to get up messing the whole bed with diarrhea. ( And yes, the gallbladder surgery really has ruined me. Wish I never have it. Apparently the bile going up into my stomach is a result of that also. I'd give anything to take that back. They sell that surgery like it's going in for a manicure!
That's so much for all your advice.
I'm so torn because for this problem.. it seems almost a keto diet would help, but then the "bile reflux" folks say low fat. But I'm not sure about that, because I can see that if you have a gallbladder, when the bile is released in response to your eating fat, that is it's job. But without one, the bile just kind of dribbles out constantly. I don't think you get the response to fat. I guess the though is the fat sits in your stomach longer and may put pressure on that sphincter relaxing it and causing the bile to reflux. I don't know. Maybe you can include that problem in your reportoire! Most sources say diet doesn't matter.
Thanks again for all your advice and help. it's the most of got!
