@bgiddio Hi. Yes the FODMAP diet is for SIBO. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/fodmap-diet-what-you-need-to-know That's the link to the John Hopkins webpage that tells about it. As I understand it, low FODMAP foods are low in the sugars that the bacteria thrive on. Once you get into it, it doesn't feel restricting at all. It may mean you need to forgo your favorite foods for a while, as your body adjusts. Then, once you've gotten used to it and things feel a bit more manageable, you can do a little cheat here and there. But it's been really helpful for me. I also have problems with swallowing, so I do the small 5 meals a day. That's kind of a drag, because I'm really not comfortable eating out, due to my swallowing problem. Oh well. I've pretty much adjusted to that too. Also gave up caffeine. God, I sound like a born-again twenty-first-century ascetic. Hope this helps. Let me know how you do. 🙂

I have tortuous colon and will have total hip replacement on 11/8 and the gastro doc said I couldn't have surgery as it is so bad. I am concerned about post Op constipation. My doc said try oxyclense from Amazon. I just ordered it and will see how it works. I am on high fiber diet.
Any advice would be appreciated as it very much concerns me.
Thank. You.
