Hi Alyssa, this is all new to me. I'm seeing a gastroentegologist this week. I hope they find what I have, it's been going on for about 6 months and getting worse. Symptoms are extreme bloating (looks like 9 months pregnant), shortness of breath (bloating pushing on my lungs), skin problems, and I gained about 20 pounds. Thanks for sharing your story!
Make sure your sibo breath test is for hydrogen and methane, three hours, and use the lactoluse solution. If you just test for hydrogen you could be missing the other gas. Also, the lactoluse solution checks for overgrowth in the entire small intestine. The hydrogen breath test only test the first 2-3 feet. So, a diagnosis could be missed! Hope you feel better soon!
I totally understand the struggle of both of those; I can only imagine what dealing with them at the same time would be like. I'm so glad you found a solution that worked for you! Getting rid of SIBO can be difficult, but it is (obviously) worth the effort. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! Hugs 💜 - Alyssa
@Dark Dreamz When I took Rifaximin, I did not experience any symptoms that I would attribute to die off, but I was also suffering from MALS at the same time ( ruclips.net/video/jjNZ56nH4UI/видео.html ), so I did have much more pressing symptoms to focus on. I was also careful to take a probiotic at the same time to replace the dangerous bacteria with gut appropriate bacteria. I am also unsure if it will have any effect on your anxiety and panic attacks, but I am sure your gastro or mental health professional would be able to determine if that is a significant risk for you. Thank you so much for asking such a good question that I am sure others will be looking for the answer to as well. I hope you find relief soon and that your health dramatically improves! - 💜 Alyssa Layne
That is an excellent question! Since my last surgery, I haven't been retested. I've had a few symptoms that remind me of SIBO, but unfortunately other areas of my heath have taken priority and my focus is on improving them. Additionally, with the COVID-19 pandemic, getting in to be seen and evaluated for SIBO has been difficult. I hope to be checked again for it in the next few months. Thank you so much for watching and for asking about me. I really appreciate it! 💜 Alyssa
Thanks for spreading the word about SIBO, this was my final missing piece to get my IBS under control!

What is your experience with SIBO? 🔬💜

Have you fully treated your sibo?
