Give your poor old intestines a rest and hit the white rice .
You are man now stop feeding that inner starving child !
No , I do not eat any enchiladas or any spicy Mexican foods. The closest I come to having something spicy is a pepperoni /sausage pizza., and not too often.
Can I at least cook the rice in a chicken broth ? How long must I eat white rice ONLY ? Must I drink water only ?
I'm already so weak and lightheaded that I feel like I'll faint

Maybe that's why I became a chef ? It now looks like I'll end up the way I started … starving. Maybe I can kill the unknown bacteria before I kill myself from lack of food.
I know you like sugar & bread, so perhaps your diet is causing your problems.
If your doctors don't know why you are ill and you don't think our advice will help, then the only person who can do anything about you problems is yourself

What about tea with Splenda ? Any specific diet advice gratefully received.

Re: A cure for sibo ????
We are not Doctors, Bakerman.As your condition is so long standing, you need professional guidance.
You are asking non-professional people how to treat a condition over the internet without us knowing what is wrong, what medications you are taking, what any allergies may be, or what the true diagnosis is!
Sorry Bakerman, but I for one, will not advise any more, because I only have your guesses of what may be wrong. The fact remains - you do not have an official diagnosis.
Supposing your guesses are not even right?
Suppose we suggest treating yourself with all these over-the-counter meds and remedies, and all the time the cause of your long standing problem is something much more serious?
Who would be responsible if you got worse, because I am not prepared to take the blame.
Can you imagine a specialist saying . . . "who told you that would cure you?" And you replying - "Some women on the internet in England."
Nah, I will have to bow out now.
Hope you feel better soon though.

Re: A cure for sibo ????
Good post, Mups!Bakerman - you do need help - but not from unqualified persons on the other side of the world who have no idea of your diet/life style/allergies etc.,
Am not being unkind here - have your best interests at heart - please, please, seek professional help and do not let them fob you off without a diagnosis and a treatment plan.

Just avoid these foods during your elimination diet:[2]
Dairy
Eggs
Gluten (including barley, oats, rye and wheat)
Fish and shellfish
Nightshades (tomatoes and onion)
Citrus (contain high amounts of potentially reactive antioxidants)
Soy
Peanuts
Tree nuts
Corn
Non-organic beef
Sweets or candy
You can eat rice and most meat but avoid spices and frying. Nightshade vegetables include the following :
Tomatoes (all varieties, and tomato products like marinara, ketchup, etc.)
Tomatillos
Potatoes (white and red potatoes. However, sweet potatoes are not nightshades.)
Eggplant
All peppers (bell peppers, jalapeno, chili peppers, and hot peppers)
Red spices (curry powder, chili powder, cayenne powder, red pepper)
Paprika
Pimentos
Goji berries

I don't know if it means anything, but I am definitely diabetic T-2. But the last time they tested, I had a good A1C.
Just a thought in passing, though I have never had any allergies, during the last several years I do have a runny nose sometimes.
I was FINALLY able to get through to a social worker at my clinic and she is going to have a dietician contact me.

I am going to do it, but it will be a horrid experience. I think that I will do a complete fast for 2-3 days before I start the elimination diet.
