Does this sound like SIBO?

Hi,

I've been on the gluten-free diet for about two and a half years. I've made a few mistakes on the diet in that time, but even when I've been gluten-free for long periods of time I still have symptoms. These symptoms are:

- Bloating
- Gas
- Weight loss
- Food intolerances
- Fatigue

I've read several sources that say SIBO is very common in celiac patients who are still having issues after they stop eating gluten. Also, I know that eating too much sugar and carbs can cause SIBO or make it worse, and my sugar and carb intake has been too high for a long time. So it makes sense that I might have it.

Does this sound like SIBO to you? I'm going to ask to be tested for this the next time I see my doctor. I'm also being tested for some other things as well. Until then I wanted to get the forum's opinion on this.

Thanks

Just wanted to add, I am not asking for a diagnosis. I hope my post didn't come across that way. I will of course discuss everything with my doctor before I attempt any kind of treatment.

It could be, and they do have a breath test to diagnose SIBO, so you might want to pursue that. We just updated an older article that might be helpful to you:

Also, a low FODMAP diet may be worth trying out at this point.

      Daughter waiting for appointment

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      In the USA we also do a fruit cake that probably has UK origins, and my grandmother's always had lots of rum in it. I just found these:

      By Bdg12 · Posted

      Scanlan, any luck with the b1 vitamins or anything else ? New celiac of 10 months and anytime I push myself i over exert myself with weights I’m exhausted for several days afterwards.  Had a blood test done too and everything was normal.  Thanks !

      Daughter waiting for appointment

      My daughter had her endoscopy today. The Dr said it looked normal but she has two small ulcers. The Dr took 16 biopsies, ahold have the results in a few days. She told her to keep eating gluten until we get the biopsy results unless it’s bothering her stomach too much.  has anyone else had ulcers with celiac?
