sibo and silent reflux

[Dragonfly66xx]

I was diagnosed with Sibo,silent reflux, low stomach acid, coeliac. Does anyone have experience how to get rid of sibo without antibiotics. The stomach is also swollen like balloon. How to increase stomach acidity. Because of the sibo I can’t consume kefir and sauerkraut. I have tried diluted apple cider vinegar but this experiment still ended with a sore throat.

Why not try antibiotics? I unsuccessfully. tried Rifaximin alone, but might try again, adding another antibiotic. Apple cider vinegar also a disaster aggravating my LPR (silent reflux). In my case, one of the problems may be that I'm on heavy duty PPI's, however, getting off of them is difficult because I need them for my LPR. Good luck it's a tough one. Even tougher to find a doctor interested. I'm in the US. Maybe they take it more seriously in the UK.

Hello Dragonfly66xx, have you investigated a decent probiotic? Your gut bacteria may be out of kilter. I use Symprove which has been excellent for me . Also digestive enzymes are said to help.

you might get more support from a forum for gut conditions - this is mainly for heart conditions
