That’s pretty much useless. Vagueness until “I addressed this with ma naturopath” then actually don’t say what you did 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Hey, sorry you felt like I didn't get specific enough for you...it's hard to explain EVERYTHING in one video. I touched on the various things, and I do have other videos that go into more specific topics. Have a great day :)
I feel the same too. She should have specified the medication.
Great step by step approach. Thank you for inspiring people to find cure and to never give up.
I have a feeling you will win this battle. That doesn’t mean it feels painful right now.
You are young and intelligent. Which means you will go forward. I have been living this life for a long time. Dealing with this insanity. I feel your pain.
It sounds like you've been at this a long time and feel discouraged. Have you had an expert guide at any point on your journey?
This is an amazing detailed story. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Malia, I'm glad it felt useful to hear it, you're welcome :)
I love and appreciate your videos! I’ve been struggling with GERD, Gastro issues with acid reflux n constipation, I also get bouts of H Pylori - UGH- Great content! Thank you
Hi Evelyn, great to meet you, and I'm glad you're finding the videos useful. I do have one about reflux, so if you search for that on my page, you'll find it. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Definitely gives me hope after almost 2 years of struggling with this. Do you mind sharing the name of the ND you used? Unfortunately the ones in my area aren't that knowledgeable about gut issues and one didn't even know what SIBO was. His treatment plan made me worse
Hi Henry, no problem, my ND office is Northcoast Naturopathic Medicine in McKinleyville CA. If you're not in CA, you won't be able to work with them. And if I may, I provide amazing support service to my clients while they work through their SIBO/IBS healing process, and help them create their personalized IBS relief plan that works. Is this something you're looking for help with? The only thing I can't do is prescribe medications.
Great video! Can I ask you which parasites you had? And how did you get rid of them?
That was an advertisement I’m still waiting for exactly how you did it
Sorry it didn't meet your expectations. The summary: I finally treated my SIBO and the root causes of my SIBO. I'm 2.5 years post treatmnet, and still doing well :)
@@ConfluenceNutrition
So the title is
How I Finally Healed My Gut From IBS and SIBO
the summary is
I finally treated my SIBO and root causes
WTF? It's so hard for these videos to just tell everyone specifically what they did. I feel like none of the ppl who made these "helpful" videos actually went through this hell. I wish to God and I pray to God constantly that I could get through this and be normal again not in constant pain. If I did, I would definitely make a detailed video on EVERYTHING I tried and that worked rather than this vague BS we see in every video lmao.
Hi there! I'm curious about your experience with multiple rounds of the Rifaximin and neomycin. I just completed 1 round of the same dosages you took and had symptoms relief from about day 7 during the course. After completion my symptoms returned within 5 days so I'm not sure if this means I will need another course. It would be great to know how you knew another course was necessary and how you felt between rounds. Thank you!
Hi Chloe, i strongly advocate for people to retest after completing treatment. It sounds like you made progress during your treatment, but SIBO may still be present. Also, using a prokinetic in between courses helps you maintain your progress…see this video for more on that: ruclips.net/video/KiiwD_IiCmM/видео.html thanks for watching 😊
@@dipankarkalita4633 Generally, you use them AFTER treatment. Here is my video on the topic: ruclips.net/video/KiiwD_IiCmM/видео.html
Hi you posted a while back that you took rifaximin and neomycin For your Sibo but it came back, I’m assuming you had methane due to the neomycin, I have that as well as IBS C. Just curious if you ever found anything to help you long-term
Thank you ❤
I had endometriosis as a younger woman, I am now 59 and struggle with IBS. I have made an appointment with a gastroenterologist, since my primary care doctor has basically done nothing. My symptoms are alternating constipation/ straining, loose, bulky malodorous stools, gas, bloating, tenesmus and a sulfur odor... I have started a low FODMAP diet 2 weeks ago and it's helped with the bloating and odor, but little else.
Hi Annette, it definitely sounds like there is something going on with your gut, and I hope your GI can help evaluate. If not, I would love to meet with you to see whether my Calm Digestion Method coaching program can support you in finding symptom resolution and the right management plan going forward. You can book that call here: confluencenutrition.com/contact.
Hey, great video. Can I ask: I saw you mentioning histamine intolerance-like symptoms in a different video of yours. Would you say they’re completely resolved now that your gut problems are drastically better/resolved? Or do you still suffer from these intoleranczs to histamine or other biogenic amines?
Thanks in advance.
I am still somewhat sensitive to certain histamines in food. I have to be careful. Resolving SIBO has not cured this problem for me, so some other source. I haven't yet figured out where it's coming from.
@@ConfluenceNutrition look into proteobacteria such as Klebsiella (aerogenes). They’re known to produce extreme amounts of biogenic amines such as cadaverine and putrescine, which reduce DAO enzyme efficiency
@@Ruktiet I'd have to look back at my previous stool tests, but I definitely have tested high for Klebsiellas before, not sure of the exact species.
Here's what worked for me:
1. Chew my food thoroughly and completely 30 times. This is the most important thing.
2. Walk twice a day.
3. Prunes.
4. Magnesium.
5. Peppermint.
I feel so much better now.
Good luck!
How much and how often did you eat prunes.
What type of magnesium
And peppermint tea?
@cameronbutler2960 I eat prunes about 3 times a day. Get the kind without preservatives. Magnesium citrate. I take peppermint in pill form but you could drink peppermint tea.
@@ronlugbill1400how many prunes do you eat for the day? 9? 6? How much magnesium in milligrams?
@@brianlittrell797 Varies. As many prunes as I want. Magnesium as directed on label.
But if gastritis is one of the symptoms, peppermint tea will flare the inflammation in the stomach. Also be careful with type of magnesium because mag citrate can flare inflammation in the stomach too.
Then if insulin resistance and high blood sugar is a problem in the mix then prunes won't be a good idea either. Plus I know for myself, prunes would set off a gastritis flare as well.
Just saying. Worked for OP but you have to take your own individual symptoms into account.
How do you get rid of the parasite and die Sibo? Did you take antibiotics?
So for you it was a combination of meds for SIBO and diet and stress management and eating and sleeping schedules? What kind of meds?
Hi there peace and love, yes...diet dialed in to reduce symptoms, stress management really helped me because I run high stress, and then meds as the final ker-pow. I used rifaximin with neomycin four times over 9 months. After the 3rd round, I did the clear passage therapy, which stirred things up. I hope that clarifies.
I did talk about my SIBO treatments in videos on my channel, here is the first one: ruclips.net/video/pRYMIY14oHo/видео.html
There are 2 other videos about my treatments after this one.
Great video! Thank you 🙏 Does grass fed goat or cow colostrum help with gut health?
For some people, yes, it's like magic. Colostrum helps seal a leaky gut. However, some people don't tolerate it well, and I'm one of them!
@@ConfluenceNutrition Good to know! How do we know if colostrum is working when we take it?
@@onlyinparadise4613 As with any supplement, look for obvious signs of symptom improvement within 1-3 weeks. If you see no change in that time frame, chances are it's not doing anything for you.
I was really hoping you were going to describe all the things you did to get rid of your SIBO. I was recently diagnosed, and I am working with some healthcare professionals, and there is such a mixed thought process to how to heal it. I am a researcher and want to make the very best decision for myself, but this is super confusing when everybody has a different idea of how to solve the problem.
Hey I was watching your video from two years I have gerd and eoe i don’t eat any of the top like 10 allergens foods I only eat dried apricots chicken thighs plain white rice plain I eat some cookies that are top allergy free and some apple crisp but I have been having this bloating or air pressure feeling in my left side stomach since the beginning of last year I can feel it like air coming up and I don’t know how to get rid of it I don’t know if it’s sibo or some type Of parasite but I have massage or do a lot of stuff to get it come out it has stopping me from eating because I eat and the pressure builds up and pushes my food up inside of throat then I have trouble breathing and acid reflux was wondering if you might be able to tell me what it might be I’m also not allergic to anything only clam
Hi Joseph, these are great questions, and I can only speculate in a short comment here. These are the kinds of problems I help my clients solve, and truthfully, it often takes a dedicated process of structured experimentation to find your answers. For some clients, it's 6-8 weeks, for others, we have to work on the problem for a while. If I had to take a stab at it, I think SIBO is a reasonable hypothesis, you can test for it, see my video about testing for SIBO without a doctor if you don't have one who is willing to work with you. And if you'd like to discuss how I can help you with this problem, please ask me about scheduling a free discovery call.
If you don't have funtional disbalanced diarrhea or constipation 3 or more per week yes it o
Is out of the risk of IBS. bit indigestion will happen whole life it is not the diseases its regular life problem.......but big congrats you completely heled from this issue. Stay healthy stay happy ll
Hi, I took Rifaximin for the first day and I could not fall asleep (racing thoughts). What could be the cause? Could it be a "die-off" symptom? I eat meat, eggs, butter, potatoes, millet, and some fruit. I also have ginger, coconut oil, artichoke tea, and bitters. Today I have completely cut out fruit except for some lemon. I hope I will sleep tonight. Also, did you get tested for candida? I also think I have it. Am waiting for my blood results. Thank you! I really appreciate your videos! Making a video about candida would be great!
Hi Violeta, it's hard to say why the rifaximin would have that effect, but the gut-brain connection is not to be underestimated! I hope it's calmed down for you. I did find overgrown yeasts in a previous stool test. Here is a video I made about navigating candida and IBS treatment that may be helpful: ruclips.net/video/3YBrblRTMb0/видео.html
@@ConfluenceNutrition Yes, after four days all the side effects went away, and finally am sleeping well! Thank you. Also, I realized that before when I was trying probiotics they always had probiotics in them. I think now because of prebiotics I had terrible side effects (insomnia and anxiety). Almost all on the market have them. So after my treatment, I will start with some fermented foods and maybe even try kefir. Then if it doesn't really work I will try probiotics like Pure Encapsulations - Probio Basic. The worst thing for me is hypoglycemia and am strongly sure it is gut related. I appreciate all your valuable info! :)
@@violetcountry You are very welcome...for some people, probiotics of most kinds, even food based ones, will aggravate. It can be due to histamine. You'll just have to see what your body tells you it's willing to tolerate ! :)
Where you able to get rid of the SIBO with the antiobitics? and how longb did it take? and was your primary doctor the one that prescribe you the antibiotics?@@violetcountry
Dark chocolate has helped me tremendously with gut issues. Just for interest sake 👍
Interesting, thanks for sharing! Dark chocolate is high in magnesium, so who knows why but maybe that??
@@ConfluenceNutritionDark chocolate feeds good bacteria in the gut 😊
Dark chocolate esp cocoa boosts peristalsis :)
I don’t understand so how did you get rid of the bacteria in your small intestine was it herbals or did you take antibiotics and for how long?
She dealt with the parasites and bacteria overgrowth in her large intestine. When you don’t have large intestine issues and parasites in the small intestine, you don’t have bacteria overgrowth in the small intestine and or bacteria traveling up from the large intestine to the small.
I did many and all. I did herbal rounds of treatment in the late 2010s, which tended to relieve symptoms while on them and for a short while afterwards, and then they would come back. I did many successive rounds of antiparasitic herbs, and antibacterial herbs. But it was 4 rounds of antibiotics plus clear passage therapy that finally cleared my SIBO entirely. My SIBO treatment with rifaximin started in FEb 2021, I did it again in April, and July, and then in December. Clear Passage was Nov 2021. It stirred up symptoms, so I did one final round just after, and have been well since.
@@absolve4024 This is partly true, but there can be any combination of various issues. But you're right that parasites especially can cause a trickle down effect of problems throughout the gut.
@@ConfluenceNutrition I’m happy for you. I’m screwed
@@ConfluenceNutrition if you got cured of rifaximin you must have had hydrogen sibo only?
Vauge - did you tsje snyo biotics?
I have methane sibo + blasto H, so my dr told me to take rifaximin + metronidazole (instead of neomycin). I have tinnitus sometimes. Quite scared about all this.
Hi Andrea, a lot of people share your concern about the neomycin. Though the possible ear issue is a documented side effect, it's still quite rare. In these situations, I usually ask my clients to consider the risks vs rewards, and to have them make their decision from there.
So.... what was the treatment for the sibo and parasites??
In this video, I describe my SIBO treatment, which I repeated several times :ruclips.net/video/pRYMIY14oHo/видео.html. For parasites, I used the Biocidin protocol, as well as (at different times) Raintree Herbs AP formula, as well as medicinal enemas. This video discusses some of these options: ruclips.net/video/frS87KFBAYE/видео.html. Hope that helps.
What herbals did you take to get rid of your methane sibo?
Hi there, my first time with herbals, many years ago, I used oregano oil and allicin, plus Atrantil. I did feel a little better after using, but within a few months, symptoms returned, because I didn't retest and confirm I was done. When I tried to do herbals again 2 years later, I couldn't tolerate them, they made me feel sick right away. That was when I finally decided to try the rifaximin + neomycin.
@@ConfluenceNutrition Thanks for the response. I have tried multiple things and am trying some stuff right now. Trying to get an idea of what people have done to get better.
@@BluStarGalaxy Yes, there are many possibilities! But it sounds like you're on the right track :)
@@ConfluenceNutrition Sounds good. Thanks!
@@BluStarGalaxy You're welcome :)
NOT HELPING AT ALL 😔
Great story. Did you get a separate treatment for parasites?? What parasites did you have?
I had Blastocystis hominis, and another single celled parasite called Endolimax nana. I attribute my 6 months of frequent herbal/plain enemas for finally getting rid of that, along with oral herbal anti-parasitics. I used a variety of things. I did recently have a new stool test that indicated I may have a low incidence of nematode larva, but it's unknown if those are a problem or not. I'm banking on no, since my digestion feels pretty good.
@@ConfluenceNutrition I also have blastocystis hominis and tested positive for SIBO. My doctor wants to use oral antibiotics like Flagyl. Not sure how effective they are. How much of your symptoms were due to parasites you think??
@@ConfluenceNutrition can you explain what you meant? How frequent were the enemas and what was in the herbal enema?
@@NishantGandhi7 Hmmm, it's a good question, without a great answer. But there was a period of time where I did regular enemas, some with herbal preparations, and this calmed down maybe 20-30% of my symptoms. It reduced my reactivity, and reduced some of the mental health symptoms my gut was cuasing, like anxiety. I felt calmer. But I continued to have IBS flares (alternating diarrhea and constipation) and food reactions.
@@johndavic7468 Over a period of a months or two, I did an herbal enema every week or two: one type was a "tea" I made with eucalyptus leaves, the other was with an antiparasitic bark called QUassia. I also used food grade hydrogen peroxide PROPERLY DILUTED. I would follow these up the next day with a plain water enema, or anytime I felt pain in my gut. I typically saw some weird things in the day after enemas. I also regularly did plain water enemas for a period of months after, just to support detox and motility. After a while of this, it started feeling depleting, so I reduced and then stopped. It was a long slow process, but I felt better than when I started, in the end.
So you still can’t tolerate gluten or dairy?
Nope. Though I can eat butter, and eat a bite of cheese here and there. But too much irritates my gut. Don't know why at this point. But I was kind of dairy intolerant even when I was young and didn't have IBS.
What were the treatments you use to cure your Sibo and IBS?
I tried herbal protocols twice, with oregano oil and allicin, second time couldn't tolerate. Then finally tried rifaximin with neomycin at year 9, and that really made a difference. I also relied on a few specific supplements that helped me manage symptoms, and had to reduce or eliminate certain foods.
What were the specific supplements?
@@littleflor2975 In this video, I describe my SIBO treatment, which I repeated several times :ruclips.net/video/pRYMIY14oHo/видео.html.

I got food poisoning and it was untreated, now I feel full 24/7 , is this SIBO?
It can be!
I’m in England, uk. Do you accept people from abroad?
Hi Daniel, yes, I can work with anyone anywhere and support and advise you about your IBS. However, I may not be able to order stool test kits for you. Often, people work with their local practitioners to do that part if that's something they want to explore. Would you like to set up a time to discuss?
Yes Let’s arrange please
@@daniel-1998 Hi again, I'm going to be away from my office for the holidays for the next two weeks, but please use this link to book at time: confluencenutrition.com/contact. And happy holidays to you :)

So basically anabiotic’s was the solution because herbals didn’t do squat for me😊
For me, yes, and I was only willing to try the antibiotics after I failed the herbs several times. I really didn't want to do the antibiotics! But in the end, it was the right decision for me.
@@ConfluenceNutrition did you ever find your root cost or does it matter?
Highdose Vit B1 helped me
Thanks for sharing that, lately I've been hearing from others who have used B1.
No help
Wow for 10 years ?! Have you ever made any mistake during your treatment? Or you commit a cheating on your diet protocol?
Yes, I made MANY mistakes over the years with my treatment and lifestyle changes. During the years my symptoms were worse, I really couldn't "cheat" on my diet, as any slips would result in uncomfortable symptoms. It's been a great joy to bring more foods back into my diet!
So what about the men ?
The process is the same, but obviously, men won't have gynocological problems! We still have to use the same process of seeking the likely underlying causes, and testing our theories about that one by one.
this talk didnt help me.
Sorry it didn't work for you Kevin, what were you hoping for more of?
some practical things like get acupuncture or md or fodmap@@ConfluenceNutrition
Very bad video 😞
