Sibo

Hello to everyone that has been diagnosed with sibo. I, myself was diagnosed almost two years ago after 2 colonoscopys, 2 endoscopys, 2 ultrasounds and finally 2 breath tests. Not to mention 4 doctors of Gastroentronology. I have been on rounds of all types of anitbiotics, usually two at a time for 10 days. Also, tried various herbs and digestive suppliments. None of them worked. My severe pain and bloating always came back and sometimes lasted for days. Had to go to the emergency room twice for the pain. I am not over weight, drink at least 60oz of water daily and excercise about 4 to 5 days a week. I am writing to all of you because I felt I couldn't answer each question with what I have discovered that has completely worked for me for the last 6 months.

Here's my story. After seeing my 4th Gastroentronologist at the beginning of December 09, I decided to opt out of another round of antibiotics and do a cleanse instead. I have done about 4 herbal cleanses in the past hoping they would help. Now normally I would have gone to Whole Foods to buy the pricey all-natural cleanse including pure aloe vera juice and probiotics but instead I went to the market and for some strange reason, which I still cannot explain, I ended up buying Benefiber for $12.99. I must tell you all that I LOVE IT and have been PAIN FREE with a flat stomache again for six months!!! It has been the complete miracle drug for me. I haven't felt this good in 5 years! I can eat whatever I want again and as a matter of fact have put on 10 pounds! But I don't care. I can eat chocolate, red meat, bread and even drink coffee now. This might sound like one big add for this product (they should be paying me, the way I promote it) but I am a real 43 year old mother of two and a wife. This product has given me my healthy life back and I still can't believe it. I am telling anyone who will listed to try it and let me know if it works for you. In good health. : )

I see this is your first post. Welcome! You do understand that this is a board for people with gluten intolerance/Celiac Disease and that you are recommending a product with wheat dextrin, right? That can be dangerous for people here. Just trying to protect the newbies...

I'm sure am glad that you found something to help you feel better!

Here is what they say on their faqs page: Open Original Shared Link

9.Does wheat dextrin contain gluten?

Benefiber Powder, which contains less than 20 ppm of gluten and is therefore considered "gluten-free," based on both the FDA and the Codex Alimentarius Commission's proposed definition of less than 20 ppm. However, people who experience gluten intolerance should not consume any products, including Benefiber, that contain any level of gluten unless otherwise directed by their doctor.

      I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

      Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would eat a little bit of gluten I would wake up feeling very old, achy, and unrested, with a burning sensation everywhere especially on my hip bones and chest area. It felt like severe inflammation. This would also happen during stressful times and times where I hadn't been sleeping well.  This symptom had decreased in intensity and completely gone away before I tried to do a gluten challenge over a month ago. Now it is back and I have it every day when I wake up. It usually goes away or decreases in intensity after a few hours of being awake. Is this inflammation or something else, and is it related to Hashimoto's thyroiditis or celiac (or gluten sensitivity) or both? Could it be related to not moving for long periods of time (as is the case when I am sleeping)? I was also extremely sensitive to all foods when I first started AIP about 3 or 4 years ago, but with time, I could tolerate more foods and even gluten in small amounts occasionally. Now my stomach is super sensitive, I am afraid to eat again, and my stools are abnormal. Thank you.

      @MagsM Did your doctor do the DGP IgG and DGP IgA tests or the tTg IgG test.  It looks like he just tested total IgG.   Were you taking any medications or over the counter stuff before the test?  Some can suppress the immune system and cause false negatives.
