I have SIBO, and I’m working with a Functional Medicine Doctor. His diet is so strict. For a month I couldn’t eat anything but protein and some veggies. It was SO hard. He works through the fodmaps in stages. I’m able to eat a little more, but I’m drooling over your low fodmap meals. I can so relate to the worry about your mental health regarding food.

You’re such an inspiration to us all. I have been dealing with digestion issues and edema around my eyes for 6 years then I recently started feeling muscle spams and twitching and doctors have not been able to figure out and one doctor called me crazy. I just started a low fodmap diet and for the FIRST time I’m feeling like there is hope. I felt alone and isolated from my family and the foods to eat. You are 100% right, god will not give us more than what we can handle and your last quote serves me as a reminder that he has greater things for us. Your thoughts on the possibility of us going through this is to help others or make ourselves better are the exact thoughts I’ve had and I’m a believer this is probably part of God’s plan!

Basically, nutrients were leaking out, and I wasn’t absorbing my food even though I was eating. I can only speak to my unique case but I was put on this substance called ION, a gut healing supplement. I had my doubts but it really did help to seal up any microscopic holes in my small intestine. That along with the antibiotic treatment for SIBO helped me feel better. Hope that helps! ☺️

This much, Wheat, sugar & nuts would mess my Sibo up to the point where I can’t function, nausea & stomach pain. I ate healthier than this before Sibo, an antibiotic is what caused it for me. Now can’t barely have strawberries ugh. Wish mine was this mild.

Aw man I’m so sorry you’re having to go through SIBO 😕 For sure I do realize that each and every person’s SIBO can be different in its intensity. I have a wheat allergy so no wheat here for me forever 😂 But I wish you the best of luck with treating your SIBO and to living life to the fullest again 🤍🤍🤍

I never retested but I’d say for the most part my SIBO is gone! I feel a lot better now compared to 2 years ago. I just have to make sure I don’t eat too many seasonings that might trigger it to come back. Overall I’m very thankful.

Did you cure your sibo?

Ends up that I didn’t do the SIBO test again to officially check because 1. It’s expensive and 2. I had to leave for college! But my symptoms are so much better after doing the SIBO treatment! So to me I feel cured. I think reducing the amount of gas producing fruits and vegetables has helped immensely! Thanks for asking! 💕💕💕

@@ChiomaBess Yes, I have! So far I’ve tried apples, pears, Brussel sprouts, and lentil pasta. I realize that if I just have small amounts of these gas inducing foods I’m usually okay. Occasionally I will eat too much of one, and I will be in pain but for the most part it’s been okay. Cooking the apples (like in apple sauce) has been helpful for me. Hope this helps! ☺️

Idk how you tolerate Broccoli though. It's one of the worst for me

No I totally get what you’re saying… that is technically really bad to eat when you’re on the SIBO diet. But I love it so much that I couldn’t resist 😂 I find that I can eat a little of broccoli if I steam it until it’s extremely soft. But even then I have to be careful with the portion!

Hey! Everyone is different, so this may not help you, but just in case: I experienced the same issues for a couple years and treated SIBO for months (with little to no improvement). I tried stopping hormonal birth control pills a couple months ago and I was immediately better. I have my life back! So just in case you take birth control, it may be worth stopping it for a few weeks to see if it helps. Regardless, I hope things get better for you! :)

Be careful with Antibiotics. They can do a number on you. Specially women. I had to take two at one time. I don't like them. Ty for the tips and the meals looked good.

Are you working with a dietician? You don’t seem to eat oats, quinoa?

@elsahluan

Жыл бұрын

No I am not currently. But you’re right I don’t eat any grains. I can’t digest them. For carbs I really just rely on sweet potatoes, white potatoes, and various fruits. Hopefully one day I can add grains back in because I love it all so much, especially rice. (I know technically quinoa isn’t a grain, but I’ve tried eating it, and it just causes me a lot of GI upset).

potato and brocolli are no no's. sweet potato is better for sibo

while taking antibiotics you should feed the bacteria, so low fodmap during an antibiotic course is wrong advice

For me the eggs didn’t seem to make a difference so I just opted to eat them for the protein 😂 Do you have trouble with eggs and SIBO?

@@elsahluan ohh 😮 if you’re sibo free you should be good but for me I used to eat it everyday easy protein since i workout a lot. But it will feed bad bacteria, viruses and feeds the pathogens which they thrive on. when I had a stupid acid reflux worst than you can imagine I couldn’t sleep or eat a tiny meal one was making my acid ballistic its like dropping nuke inside my stomach. I suffered for almost 2 years straight, I started drinking celery juice and change my diet but mostly meat and white rice didn’t bother mixing it with fruits and vegetables it help me neutralized it for a year. What caused me to trigger my acid from the start was eating fast food and drinking excessive alcohol like hennesy or other dark drinks also drinking coffee everyday was my daily routine. I was in the er multiple times because of my severe acid reflux. I also got h-pylori since the start as well but found out this year about 2 months ago so all those times dealing with my acid reflux I had h-pylori. I got antibiotics two months ago and took it for a month. It eradicated my whole gut microbiome the antibiotics killed everything in my stomach along with good gut bacteria and h pylori. After two weeks off antibiotics I was dealing with nutrition deficiency and had the worst brain fog 😶‍🌫️. And until I researched everything it ALL COMES DOWN YO YOUR STOMACH ACID !!! Only if I knew I have bad stomach acid I would’ve prevented taking antibiotics !!. What I did to heal my stomach is taking celery juice in the morning 8oz empty stomach wait 30mins to one hour before meals. Also before a meal I drink lemon juice with water cut half lemon squeeze into half of cup of water together. Every meal ! You have to get your stomach acid to ph level to 1-3 because higher than that cause acid reflux or heart burn. The bad stomach acid is causing everything to flare up ! You need your good stomach acid not the bad one ! If anyone who are suffering from acid reflux this will fix the issue !! Because think about it if we have a good stomach acid it will never cause acid reflux because it’s always close ! No harmful bacteria goes through your intestines because they die off from your stomach. You consume foods that has bacteria the stomach acid kills them and sends them to your colon and good bacteria feeds out of them and absorb nutrients! If your stomach acid is weak it cause a lot of problems like H-pylori, SiBo, colon cancer etc !!

Everything about nothing….. honest no one really tells you what to eat what not to. Just showing some plates really quick and not explaining anything making this video not helpful at all
