Herbal remedies for sibo

[Hygieneguru]

I’ve tried Xifaxan three times and still end up in the same miserable place. Has anyone used any herbs and gotten relief?

HAVE YOU TRIED PROBIOTICS? tHERE ARE MANY ON THE MARKET NOW AND SOME HAVE FOUND GREAT RELIEF. iF IT IS NOT HELPING TRY FINISHING THE COURSE AND TRY SOMETHING ELSE. Saccharomyces boulardii SEEMS TO BE GOOD IF YOU HAVE DIarrhea a lot. There are many probiotics available at health food shops - OPTIBAC has good info on their website and reviews and scientific infomation as well. They are healthy bacteria for the gut.

Ginger has been magic for me!

I constantly sipped fresh ginger tea for many years for what i thought was 24/7 IBS-like SIBO gastritis with nausea. I also practiced a LOWFODMAP exclusion diet for decades, which pretty much equated with an anti-inflammation diet. But fresh ginger was especially key to managing my SIBO

Finally, in my 50s, the NHS figured out & diagnosed the primary immune dysfunction & connective tissue disorder diseases that we now realise have been underlying + causing my long-diagnosed secondary mouth to a** GI tract conditions. The prescription meds i now take for these diseases help keep my SIBO better controlled so now i hardly need ginger at all. BUT i am glad ginger & exclusion diet helped me postpone the need for such heavy duty medication

(unfortunately, we now know my chronic GI tract trouble is Crohns-like, not IBS-like, and is due to my primary illnesses...as a result i am in my 5th month of small bowel “rest” via treatment on Exclusive Enteral Nutrition, with no food by mouth except a few plain rice cakes ongoing while tertiary investigations continue...meanwhile the SIBO which has plagued my life for decades is barely giving me any gyp...go figure!)
