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??
