Hi Notmoff
So sorry for your situation it sounds like you have had a small intestine bacterial infection those are so hard to get rid of I have one as well when I was at my wits end I turned to integrative medicine as I couldn’t find any help anywhere there are different stool tests that they can run that might help determine if there are other things at play there including parasites and fungi and they may be able to give you some supplements that can ease some of the gastrointestinal symptoms unfortunately none of that is covered by insurance but I do find they spend more time trying to find recalls than traditional medicine I know that’s not a lot but I wish you all the best

Thank you @keetafox - I hope you can give me a little more information. It is good to hear that apparently your infection is gone thanks to guidance and supplements from integrative medicine. Was yours called SIBO? Did you keep a food diary (as suggested by Amanda) to help discover and eliminate the foods that made it worse? Did you find any book or website particularly helpful?
Parasites? Fungus? Yipes!
Kidding aside, I wonder if I am beyond help as it has continued for several years and only gotten worse. With daily gi issues (obstipation and noisy gas), life is much more of challenge.
