Comments on: SIBO and me http://www.pickygourmet.net/2010/04/sibo-and-me/ Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:32:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: JD http://www.pickygourmet.net/2010/04/sibo-and-me/#comment-323 JD Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:55:48 +0000 http://www.pickygourmet.net/?p=66#comment-323 Thanks for this post. I just got back from the doctor today and discovered that I have SIBO. I have been gluten free since 2004 (or almost) and now I am gluten, dairy and egg free (for now at least, although I am trying to see if I may tolerate egg yolks or sour cream for example). I am surprised that only one person mentioned the SCD diet. I have been reading about the GAPS diet and started implementing some of it (I still eat some complex carbs but not much). I think you should look into it as many people say that this has helped them tremendously! You can find more info here: http://gapsdiet.com/ or here: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/ Feel better! Thanks for this post.

I'm sorry that you have it, however! I am on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and you can have honey and a fair number of fruits (which have fructose and glucose - monosaccharide sugars). I won't kid you - its been one of the hardest things I've ever done...and I've been STRICTLY gluten free since 2009 (I have Celiac Disease) and on the Candida Diet for most of 2011. SCD has been much harder. BUT I AM FINALLY STARTING TO FEEL BETTER! Anyways, feel free to check out my website. I write about my experience on the SCD and how it's going for me; and I'm brutally honest. :) If you need someone to talk to, just post a comment on my website and I'll write you back! I don't often check my emails, however. Best wishes for 2012! Gutsy Girl I am glad that I stumbled across your website today in my search for others who have SIBO.

(2) everybody got bad yeasts in their gastro track, take antibiotics for a long time and you'll get candia albicans or something worse, it's programmed. Physician never told me about that at the start, but after a 2 weeks course they told me yes we know, it happens in 10% of the cases (after just 2 weeks !!!). And did not propose a prevention .... sounds ridiculous!!! It is, and it's hardly surprising when the research is mainly financed by the huge dollars flux of the global market that makes money with sick people, not with health promotion! The final result is that we have sub-optimal medication reflecting a compromise between maximum profit (searching for the ideal patient, working hard and always in need of expensive medications) and the very soft regulations and morale. (3) antibiotics always interfere with the immune system. ... Hope it helps I went to a bit of SIBO reading, quite in general it sounds crazy to treat people with antibiotics for that, because :
