  1. I had assumed that I had SIBO due to the amount of gas I was producing - I was constantly burping. I am planning to go back on gluten for the blood test in late summer. I am feeling really well at the moment and dreading it. Still a little bloated and burping but improving every day. Reflux has pretty much stopped. The only food that seems to make the bloating...

  7. I wonder if anyone here can help me? I am male, early 50s. Previously fit, healthy and active. 20 years ago, I experienced a sudden-onset flu-like illness that left me very ill and bed-bound for a week with fever, diarrhoea, reflux, bloating and burping.
