    I started a thread about my SIBO but didn't get nearly as popular as this one lol. I have so may questions and concerns about it. Originally I thought once I was diagnosed with it I'd get better on the antibiotics they gave me. I'm on my 5th day of the 20 day regimen and don't feel any better. if anything, I feel worse. On top of my usual gas and bloating...

    I've read into both SCD and FODMAPs and then found a list of foods legal and illegal on BOTH diets combined to fight sibo. And it's printed out on 10 pages in such a neat order! I'm about to follow that s$#& like a bible. I am so ready for this to be over with so I finally feel myself again!!! Cylinglady, did you or do you now have SIBO? I've been reading...

    My doctor gave me Neomycin and Rifaximin to take for 10 days each (20 days in total with 2 pills a day) I'm so happy there's finally going to be an end to this!!!

    So I finally found my answer!! The doctor I'm seeing at the Celiac Center tested me for SIBO today despite the fact that I already tried taking the antibiotic for a week a few months ago (the dose was too small she said). It tested positive immediately for large amounts of methane. I'm so happy it doesn't seem real!

    I made almond encrusted salmon (made with eggs, almond meal, and lemon juice), cauliflower with melted coconut butter, and cooked carrots

    So after being strict paleo for almost 6 months after my celiac diagnosis with no relief, I finally found my answer I took a breath test for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth today and it cmd out very, very positive. The doctor was able to tell me it was positive not even half way through the test! There's a very large amount of methane, which explains...

    There's a flour I use for everything and it's the perfect substitute for regular flour. Baking gluten free is exactly like baking with gluten containing flour. It's called "Namaste Foods Perfect Flour Blend" It's a mixture of sweet brown rice flour, tapioca flour, arrowroot flour, sorghum flour, and xanthan gum. Literally you can just use this in replace...

  9. AnnaChristine18
    3 weeks? I said FIVE MONTHS
  10. AnnaChristine18
    lol no obviously not a hundred But I do take a lot. I'm taking a supplement caleld DIgestive Advantage Constipation formula which helps me stay somewhat regular. I take a fish oil pill. A probiotic (acidophilus). Digestive enzymes with every meal. L-Glutamine on it's own, and also something called G.I. Revive powder which also contains L-Glutamine along...

    Also, uhm.. No one's heard of IgG food intolerance testing? I know it's somewhat controversal, and that elimination diets are typically what people do to try to figrie stuff out but I've already eliminated SO much and it still seems I react to absolutely everything I eat. I feel like I'm drowning. I've been on this paleo diet for 5 months and I feel...

    I've heard of that btu I haven't been tested for any bacteria or parasites or anything like that. Yet (hopefully) I've wanted to get a stool test for a long time but my GI doctor wouldn't sign off on it... (then again, she also said she doubted I was Celiac because my main symptom is constipation, not diarrhea. After the biopsy and bloodtest showed it she...

    Yes I've looked at all the "newbie" stuff back when I was frst diagnosed 5 months ago... And I've been taking l-glutamine on it's own for a few months but it didn't do anything, which is why I got the GI revive supplement. My diet, like I said, is far more than just gluten-free. There's no cross contamination going on. There just isn't. And I did get tested...

    This was beautiful, thank you :') I love all the support I get from this website!! I just started taking a supplement I heard about from a website called The Celiac Diva, for healing leaky gut called "G.I. Revive" that has (this is a long list): L-Glutamine, glucosamine, citris pectin, licorice root, aloe vera, slippery elm, mucin, marshmallow root, chamomile...

    I do keep a food journal, and I do avoid "gluten-free" foods, I only eat veggies, fruit, meat, and nuts. And thats all. No grains or sugar or dairy or processed food asside from coconut flour (certified gluten free) I've heard 6 months is the minimum time for healing, although most people tend to start feeling better in some ways with ANY little imporvement...
