Re: A cure for sibo ????
I just received an email from my Dr and she said, "Because you are experiencing dizziness, confusion, muscle cramps, it is likely that you have a severe electrolyte imbalance which has been brought on by your chronic diarrhea, I strongly urge you to go to our urgent care facility or to the emergency room, today. In any event, do not, repeat, do not, start the elimination diet you mentioned in your last email.

Ahem . . . Did I or did I not warn you about taking advice from people on the Internet who do not know your medical history and are not specialists?
May I suggest you listen to the professionals this time, and don't just buy your own drugs and do your own thing, because if your way was going to work, you would have been better long ago.
Best of luck Bakerman. I hope you did what the doc asked you to do this time.

So did you do what the doc suggested today?
Did you go to the urgent care facility or the emergency room?

Re: A cure for sibo ????
Mups it sounds like Bakerman was doing the right thing in contacting his doctor and explaining a plan to do a diet. If the doctors were any good they would have referred him to a dietician by now so that he could do this in a medically supervised way. I've had to work out my own food problems by myself as most doctors are pretty clueless when it comes to gastrointestinal disorders. A friend of mine had a serious cancer and had ascites and was told by her GP not to worry it was IBS!

It took 12 weeks to cure the problem, but it also means some changes to your regular diet. A dietician & sticking to their diet is the best way of curing these problems, if your doctor can find no serious reasons for problems you are having!

Yes Annie, which is what I kept suggesting he do.
It worried me that we kept telling him what to try, when this has already gone on for so long and might have been dangerous.
It could have been cancer for all we know.
Going to the loo 16-20 times a day is abnormal and needs sorting, not home remedies. None of know what damage that has done.
I stand by what I said about if home remedies were going to work in this case, they would have done by now, and I just hope he did what the doctor told him to do this time, and went to the Urgent Care place.

Yes, I know Twink, and said the same and agreed with you in post 18.
I am glad your sister is better of course, but that does not mean Bakerman has the same problem.
It might be of course, but it could also be something much more serious, and he is delaying true diagnosis and treatment.
