Life with SIBO, Gluten Intorelance and Hashimoto's

Information

Information regarding SIBO is hard to come by.  There is not much written about it.  I struggle with how to eat, how to keep it from returning, how to regain my life, and how to lose the weight I have gained because of it.

So far I have found one newsgroup that has been helpful, a yahoo group called sibonation- http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/sibonation/.  Check out their links for good information.  I have joined the Sparkpeople SIBO group.  I love sparkpeople for calorie counting and thought it could be another resouce.  My search continues for information. 

As I find information I will try to post it, but I also want to tell the story of my journey. 

As of now, I am on round three of SIBO returning.  I was diagnosed the week of thanksgiving.  Round one.  Felt good for about 2 weeks after probiotics.  At Christmas I was treated for my second reoccurrance.  This last week my symptoms have returned after a HUGE stressful event with work, and I mean HUGE.  That triggered the symptoms again.  Off to the Doc I go on Tuesday.

Through food journalling  (including moods, symptoms, reactions) I have discovered the any Gluten really bothers my gut, when I go GF I feel good.  I tested negative for Celiac.  My doc agrees with the gluten intolerance.  When I am GF and eat really clean and those nasty symptoms return, I know the SIBO is back.  I do think there is something else I am eating in my diet that could be contributing.  I know that Corn Syrup is an issue - but what else??  White and brown sugar are ok.  Some of the oddest things get me.  I try things 2-3 times prior to cutting them out of my diet.

I wonder if there is a nutritionist out there who could help with weight loss??
