What to Eat When I Don't Feel Like Eating?

For constipation, what's working GREAT for me right now is information I learned recently via watching a video with Dr. Mark Pimental (researcher/medical doctor @ Cedars Sinai). He recommended a variety of ingredients that can be used for improving motility. He also recognized some individuals with SIBO develop Histamine Intolerance.

Since that's me and I also have some things that I can't have because of my thryoid medicine, the only supplement that I found on Amazon that seemed right for me to try was a mixture of artichoke and ginger extracts. It is working! Hopefully, by keeping things from backing up, I'll finally be free from reoccurring SIBO and then I can heal my gut forever!

Reading all the different problems that we all experience it is much easier to understand why doctors are lost with our symptoms.

That said, thank goodness for the internet and our ability to find doctors from around the world that save us! I first discovered the most info about SIBO via discovering the research that Monash University was doing. Bizarrely, my browser algorithms got better at reaching beyond the US borders while I was researching online internationally because of my interests in green roofs to handle stormwater problems. Germany was noted in one article I read as having examples of green roofs back to the 40's. That made me so interested that I kept looking for German research translated into English. Back then, it was nearly impossible to find.

Anyway, sharing all of that in the hope that I encourage people to keep looking for your answers! Don't give up. If your condition does not have a solution in the US, look further afield at other medical research centers in parts of the world. Solutions are being created everyday! And focus in one country may be completely different than focus in another country.

Above all, look for assistance from medical doctors that aren't afraid to admit they don't know everything and that do NOT blame a patient's illness on stress. Until someone has suffered extreme, chronic fatigue and a litany of other symptoms that are happening throughout their whole body (different organs/systems), they don't understand how debilitating that becomes. NOR do they understand the impact that has physically on the brain.

Wish you all the best!

Thanks for your advice. I'll have to check that out. Hmm, I wonder how I'd do with artichoke. A lot of veggies have agreed with me pretty well so far. Whoa... that's pretty crazy how you were able to find more info about SIBO by researching roofs in Germany! Gave me a good laugh. I needed one. Thanks. I hope you are able to heal your SIBO, too. Good luck.
