So I've had SIBO for almost 2 years. My main symptom is excessive belching - I belch about 5 hours non-stop per day, and those aren't normal burps, but like massive eruptions that take >10 seconds. It's taking a huge toll on my body (which is also dealing with ME and POTS) and mental state. Honestly it's something that's just not tolerable in the long term.
I've been tested positive for hydrogen SIBO and there was a little methane as well (breath test). My doc suspects I also have hydrogen sulfide but I can't test for that since I'm in Europe. I've tried basically every SIBO treatment there is (antibiotics, different diets, herbal antibiotics, etc.) I also have slow motility/delayed gastric emptying so have tried different prokinetics as well.
The Elemental Diet is kind of my last resort option. I'm taking the Elemental Heal formula by Dr Ruscio and started yesterday. I'm already starting to feel more fatigued and kinda worried about a severe die-off reaction - mostly because I'm afraid it will do lasting damage to my ME. therefore I'm curious to hear what your experiences are with the ED. thanks!
