My GI Dr put me on antibiotics with Prednisone because of the inflammation in my intestines. This treatment works temporarily but as mentioned before, my symptoms always recur. I basically follow a low fodmap diet. My motility does not seem to be an issue (I don't think). I do meal spacing - eating three times a day without any snacks in between. As far as malabsorption, this is a problem at times, when my stools are very loose which happens often. As far as bloating goes, yes every evening after my last meal of the day I have bloating and gas. The natural methods I'm using right now are Berberine Complex, Oil of Oregano, Neem Plus and Peppermint Oil Capsules also Blueberry Extract Capsules. The Oil of Oregano and Neem Plus I do for a 4 weeks period and then stop for a week or so. I find these things help to some degree but do not solve it completely. So will transition into trying something else soon. Instead of the Oil of Oregano and Neem Plus, I will switch to Black Cumin Seed Oil and see what that does. And the Peppermint Oil Capsules, I am going to switch to Activated Charcoal and see how these will work. Will keep you posted.

I have same problem Only cure is once a year infusion of Fereheme (Iron without the side effects)
It’s expensive but covered by my insurance
Besides the ileocecal valve, the portion of bowel that absorbs iron and b3 also removed. As a result I need weekly vitamin b3 injections
