Yes, I have more reasons for my neurosis than I can explain but the short of it is that I worked in healthcare for 17 years and don't always trust doctors, I was extensively over treated for stage 1 cervical cancer in 1998 and was subjected to 6 weeks of radiation that I didn't need. As a result my entire digestive system was fried. I've had more bowel obstructions than I can count and have had 2 intestinal resection surgeries and one surgery to clip scar tissue. I currently have at least one stricture in my small intestines along with multiple dilated loops. This SIBO treatment was actually my request because since my body was destroyed by a gynaecological oncologist 25 years ago, I have learned to research and advocate for my health. I am 5'5" and weigh just 82 pounds at this point. I was also diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder at Mayo Clinic more than 15 years ago. Lots of causes for my cautious approach. My biggest goal in posting this was to get an idea of what others experienced while on this regimen so I know what to expect. And also it's nice to get a little pep talk since I'm homebound and don't have any family or friends that check on me with any sort of regularity. Does that explain it?
