Bacterial Overgrowth?

I was dx Celiac in 10/08, since then I have eliminated all gluten from my diet. I was still having trouble with eye-kidney- head aches so I eliminated Casein. I am extremely sensitive to mold in foods, so I have eliminated mold foods. Now it appears that carbohydrates are my problem. So, I am now on a Grain -Gluten-Mold-Casein-Low Carbohydrate Diet! My Naturopath had my stool analyzed and I am not able to metabolize carbs, and have an excess of bacteria(gut dysbiosis). I am negative for Candida. My naturopath has referred my care to my gastroenterologist. I have researched gut dysbiosis- and feel that mine may be Small Bowel Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome-my G.I. appt. is next week, my G. I. and I spoke on phone and he believes that this is very possible. Eliminating Carbohydrates has given me energy in my "muscles" that I haven't had in 2 years- it seems fleeting though because I'm still fatigued. My symptoms have been so many and each time I eliminate a food I feel better. I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with this syndrome? (It is very similiar to Candida). I have tried diet, supplements, anti-bacterials and still over-react to molds in foods and environment. I will be going on antibiotics to try and treat this. My worry is if this will be a cyclical problem for me? The thought of being on this crazy diet and repetitive trials of antibiotics for years to come is SCARY! Sorry for rambling, I suggest anyone that is having trouble with multiple food intolerance and success with the SCD diet--have their stool tested(Genova Diagnostics-CDSA 2.0) especially if you have had antibiotic treatment.I believe I have had this since 2003! Thanks for listening any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
