Sibo treatment update!

OMG, so I am still taking the antibiotic, a couple days left, but I had to update you guys!

I’m so happy to say it really seems like it is working! The bloating and distention that was so bad and painful is virtually gone! The horrid gas is gone unless I eat something that still isn’t working for me. I’ve been able to try some different foods, but many still aren’t working.

Oats, and chia seeds give me the horrid gas, maybe it’s the fiber?Have had garlic and onion, with very few symptoms. Able to tolerate decaf coffee like all day without the bloating and pain.

The antibiotic I was finally given wasn’t the first choice but was all I can take due to insurance purposes and allergies to medicines class.

I will say that the medicine MOTEGRITY has seriously helped with the IBS-C constipation, however the antibiotic did slow things down again for a bit. .

I’m really hoping that with a fresh new diet and starting the right pre and pro biopics will clear the Sibo so it doesn’t come back. 😃😃😃

Thanks everyone!

That is brilliant news! SIBO is not well understood in UK.

what antibiotics were you prescribed?xx

I was given clindomycin 300 mg HCL 3x daily for 10 days. It made me feel so much better.
