1) I have been struggling with IBS-C and was on a low-FODMAP anti-inflammatory diet where my belly was mostly stable/predictable except was constantly constipated.
2) My integrative Dr. put me on a 1 month anti-SIBO protocol of natural antibiotics and an anti-fermentation diet.
3) Now that the protocol is over, I am having all sorts of unpredictable belly problems and don't know what to eat or take. Severe bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, etc. It's like I took a step back instead of forward! I took a probiotic yesterday and can't tell if it made things worse or had no impact. I have not touched natural pro-biotic (fermented) foods yet, like miso or kimchi.
What is a good follow-up step after coming off a natural SIBO protocol? I know I should repopulate with 'good' bacteria, but this is all confusing. Do I still have IBS? What the heck should my diet be now???
PS - after the last month of the protocol, I am SO tired of soups and stews and bone broths!
