I think I heard somewhere that you should not use probiotics when you have SIBO but I am not 100% sure.A pharmacist would be able to give you the correct answer ! ❤️
Since I was prescribed Viberzi about a year ago, my life has been so much better. It works for me almost 100% of the time. I love it. I can go to the mall, to a restaurant and have almost no problems. It’s the best med that has worked for me. At first it wasn’t covered by my insurance but I was given a discount so it was doable. Now, the price has gone up to $525.00 a month. I can’t afford that. I am on SS and Medicare. My wonderful doctor has been supplying me with free samples… read more
I just wanted to add that Viberzi worked for the first few days and I thought we had the answer for my IBS-D. I ended in the hospital for 8 days with pancreatitis. It was awful.
My friend who is a nutritionist suggested Activated Charcoal and eliminate carbs and sugar for awhile. Her daughter has ulcerative colitis and goes to an alternative dr.
What are any other suggestions.
Sounds interesting!

I have been struggling more than normal these past few months! I just can't seem to get on top of these symptoms. Try are hitting me at all hours and unexpectedly.

Hoping that you feel better! I need to gain weight also! Very difficult to do when many foods bother you!
Since i was tested and found out that i have many food allergies, i have excluded the foods I’m allergic to and now i feel so much better.
A GI doctor could help with allergy testing. Maybe a dietician too
You would need a referral and most insurance wound cover the testing !
