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.

      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.

      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 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.
