They say the gut is our second brain, I hope you have good luck after treating the SIBO. May also consider a holistic/integrative doc who treat the gut imbalances w food and natural supplements. We must heal our guts to heal our bodies… and antibiotic use has ruined our natural immune function by imbalancing our gut bacteria. Blessings to all of you struggling w health and especially epilepsy 💗🙏

Hi @sgboster123
How are you? And your son?
Thank you for your post. About 10 days ago, I completed my SIBO treatment based on antibiotics for it. I feel some improvement, but the treatment is not yet over. My doctor has told me she would continue the treatmnent with a specific diet and prebiotics. I will have a new appointment with the doctor beginning May. I have already been thinking to visit a functional/ integrative medicine doctor. Thank for reminding me that.
As to seizures, I had 3 this month of April (which is my average), two of them related to my period. I usually take birth control pills no stop every 6 months so as not to have my period, thus reducing my seizures. But for some reason, I forgot to start the next pill card right after finishing the old one, having to give this break and having my period. Result: I had two seizures during this last period, but they were mild. I imagine that if I had continued with my birth control pill nonstop, avoiding my period, I would have had just 1 seizure this month of April. But again, I do believe it is too early to say it is a result of my SIBO treatment.
Thank you for your blessings. My greetings to you!
