How do you manage to go out for shopping etc?
I don't recall if I've ever been tested for pancreatitis. But, it does not sound familiar. No food allergies. I do, however, have diabetes T-2.
When I must go shopping, I start taking lots and lots of Lomotil the night before AND I must not eat ANYTHING AT ALL for 16 + hours. Even still, I must stop at a bathroom every block or so.

Re: A cure for sibo ????
My sister had a similar problem over a long time and eventually was sent to see a dietitian .She put her on a strict yeast free diet & 2 Yakults every day( but I am sure any other pro-biotic aids would help). she was cured in 12 weeks!
Bakerman, you could try the same but it is a strict diet & you need to read labels on all foods to make sure you avoid yeast or other raising agents.
I would suggest that you speak to a well qualified dietitian who can offer advice on yeast free products in your area. My sister was allowed to have Soda bread ( which we can get from Ireland) but I am not sure what you could buy where you live.

Apple cider vinegar in water can’t harm either .
It important to keep hydrated so drink plenty water or apple juice .

it would SEEM that yeast would have no impact on the gut.?????? Not arguing with you it's just that I don't understand.
I have seen Yakult in the market, but I've never tried it.
I HAVE used Bepto-Bismol but all that does to me is turn the liquid stool black. No firming, what-so-ever.

Re: A cure for sibo ????
I have read lots of stuff on the web, and I must say that I'm more than a little worried about starving on such a restrictive diet.Boiled potatoes... no salt or butter or spices?
Plain boiled white rice
toast without butter or jam. maybe no bread what-so-ever ?
water, no sodas ? (I don't drink alcohol anyway)
No coffee/tea ?
No meat ?
Good heavens, sounds like a diet from a concentration camp.
Where do I get any nourishment ???

I think you should forget the internet for advice Bakerman.
It is generalised, not tailored for the cause of your own specific problem.
Same as becareful about what worked for other people because the cause of their complaint may not be the same as yours.
I have said everything I can now, but I will reiterate to stop messing about with home medication and remedies when they are obviously not working. You need to find out the cause first then treat accordingly.
I agree with Twink about a Dietician or Nutritionist as I suggested earlier, but if you are not prepared to change your diet and try what they suggest, then no one can help you.
Sorry if that sounds a bit brutal, but it's common sense.

I agree that I need to find out the ultimate cause. However, my G.I Dr said that is nearly impossible. He say, "Any guess on my part would be a total SHOT IN THE DARK." In fact he said there are thousands of possible causes. If he can not come up with any cause, what chance do I have ?

That's why I said ask for a referall to a Nutritionist or Dietician.
Also, how can you be getting 'proper nutrition' anyway, if your body is losing everything instead of processing it properly?
