Annie, he also says now that he has been having dizziness, confusion and muscle cramps as well as diarrohea for the last 9 years!

Would you allow that to continue if it were you, because I certainly wouldn't!

I suspect we don't know the half, so will be leaving this thread now.

Not quite what I meant. I only meant to say that I have had violent diarrhea for 9 years. (Immediately after moving into Mexico) The dizziness, mental confusion, and leg muscle cramps are all a new thing.

I called 911 and an ambulance took me to went to the emergency room and they kept me over-night to do multiple liters of IV saline drip. they would only release me went they understood that I will be seeing another Dr at my clinic this coming Wednesday. Dr talked a lot to me, but since I'm deaf, I could not understand one bit of it. I asked him would he please write it down so I could read it, but he just ignored me.

PS: Dr's are not trained in proper diets. When ever I mention diets, or food caused illness, their eyes gloss-over, and they get a blank look on their faces.

Lest people think I have not been actively pursuing a cure, they should know that I have seen a top G.I specialist dozens and dozens of times. multiple endoscopies up the bum, stomach endoscopies, and once swallowed a HUGE horse pill that took photos of everything from mouth to toilet. Lost track of how many times they have tested stools samples, urine samples and blood tests.

Mups, unfortunately NOBODY knows the half of it. If someone did, I'd be cured by now. The big tip-off is the diagnosis of IBS-D which is a catch-all name that means next to nothing.

Re: A cure for sibo ????

Glad you are ok today Bakerman. I suspect the doctor may have been telling you how to stop getting severely dehydrated in the next few days while you await the appointment. We have something called dioralyte in the uk which you dissolve in water to rebalance your body after losing fluid as a result of stomach bugs. Perhaps the doctor you see next week will advise you of something similar you can buy.

Dehydration can give you palpitations and make you light headed.
