Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth

Hello! I was tested for Celiac via blood work in June, test came back negative. The GI wanted me to get an Endoscopy done and after checking with my insurance company and finding out it would go towards my 2k deductible, I turned it down. I had the Hydrogen Breath test done last week and tested positive for bacteria in the small intestine. I was prescribed a high dose of antibiotics for 14 days. Can this have anything to do with a gluten intolerance? I'm not finding much info out there but I also suffer from a number of other things that first led us to the Celiac test. Is there anyone that has tested positive for SIBO that has went gluten-free and noticed a change in your other symptoms? Some of my other health problems are-

GERD, Kidney stones, yeast infections, Psoariasis, bloating, IBS with D, low Vitamin D.

Thanks for any advice or help!

Jessica

      The biopsy looks for damage to the mucosal lining of the small bowel from the inflammation caused by celiac disease when gluten is ingested. Once you remove gluten from the diet, inflammation subsides and the mucosal lining begins to heal.

      Our support groups in Iowa have tried for years to educate doctors and resource sites like this one.  We have held yearly conferences with continued education classes.   We have brought in Dr. Murray, Dr. Fasano, Dr. Green and Dr. elliott.  In those many years we may have had 2 doctors attend.  We sent them information, with no response.  I talked to my personal doctor and she said their training for Celiac was to show them a skinny man in boxer shorts and a huge stomach.  Saying if you see this, it is Celiac.  If it isn't in their playbook then they don't care.  Most call it an allergy with no mention of our immune system.  There is so much false information on the internet.  Then people don't understand why they can't get well and are acquiring more immune diseases. I mention this site to everyone.  Scott has working hard for the Celiac community.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.
