  2. Your Story
    Hi all, I thought I'd share my personal success story to provide some hope out there that you CAN heal. My IBS developed slowly over a number of years, and went along with a number of hormonal symptoms. I was living a very stressful life, building a house while living in a 450 square foot yurt...

    Hi fellow IBS sufferers... My name is Amanda, and I had mixed IBS for more than 10 years, from approximately 2006-2021. I had it so long and got so frustrated with the care I was getting that I went back to school to figure out what I could do about it! With a lot of dedication, effort...

    Hi there, I am currently trying to rule out SIBO in my quest for figuring out what is up with my gut health. I have just spent a THIRD day trying to do the proper eating prep for the SIBO (hydrogen breath) test in the morning. I have already tried this twice before and both times screwed...

    Hi everyone, I've been dealing with SIBO for a number of years and I will be trying the elemental diet (ED) in an attempt to starve the bacterial overgrowth. I will be using the home-made Vivonex version of the ED (see page 2 Vivonex Plus version)...

    Hi, I'm writing this for anyone who currently has SIBO. As most cases of IBS are actually SIBO (or possibly SIFO), just note that it is absolutely possible to treat and heal from this disease. I took several large courses of Rifaxamin and herbal antibiotics (following the treatment protocol on...

    Hi, After taking several large and long courses of Rifaximin and herbal antibiotics (like oregano oil etc.) in 2015, my SIBO (which was slowly killing me) was gone. I haven't had any symptoms of SIBO since the last course. That's the good news. My gut health is overall very strong now, and I...

I am...
  12. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
    So I tested positive for sibo and tried the antibiotic route but had to stop halfway through the course. I was having bad abdominal side pains and my bloating was lasting longer. I figured it was die off symptoms but my side pain was too much to want to take anything for a few days. I wanted to...

  14. General Discussion
    I've been dealing with SIBO for the past year and a half, and the only solution my GI continues to offer is antibiotics (despite several previous rounds). If anyone has recommendations for a great GI or functional doctor in New York City who treats SIBO and its underlying causes, I'd be so...

    I have been battling GERD for years. After being on a PPI for quite a while, my symptoms worsened, then was diagnosed with IBS-C and SIBO, being hydrogen positive and fructose intolerant.

    Hello everyone, I have chronic constipation along with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth).

    Hi all, I've finally got a doctor to prescribe me the Dr. Pimentel recommended dosage of 550mg of Rifaximin three times a day for 14 days... except I'm not able to source 550mg tablets in my current location.
