100% WORKING TREATMENT for my IBS!

I have been suffering for about 10 years. About 3 years ago my doctor prescribed Mebeverine Hydrochloride which didnt work at all for my IBS-D. Then lactibiane tolerance (10 billion bacteria per 2.5 g per capsule) which made be better for few weeks and then it stopped working.

I tried L-Glutamine powder (Optimum Nutrition) on my own and it made me feel better for few weeks and then it stopped working.

Later I tried a combination of Psyllium Husk BP 3.5 g & Mebeverine Hydrochloride BP 0.135 g. which is the one thing so far has given me relief but not 100%. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt but at least for about 6 months it has given me some relief.

Should I give it a try to Rifaximin+GLutamine+Probiotics?

For 25 years I have suffered with IBS D the last 5 years were unbearable and I was at the point of being house bound. L-Glutamine has given me back my life, I haven't felt this good in many many years. It was an almost immediate relief and every month I am feeling better (been 4 months). I urge anyone who has IBS D to try this remedy, it is inexpensive and works wonders.

ive used Saccharomyces Boulardi from health food store a type of probiotic in last year on an as need bases (a more general probiotic otherwise but not too happy with it so will change brands there)and it definitely helps my ibs-c and also my ibs d when it shows up although the D may be caused by other e.g. a poor food choice. However i use food as a medicine as i have several other chronic health challenges and have also for bad gut down on high FODMAPS . also a problem for me to take certain antibiotics as i peripheral neuropathy and some of them may cause permanent more damage but would have to review this one xifaxan and one problem re sibo is i have not illeocecal valve having had a resection.

How were u diagnosed with Sibo?hope these comments r helpful.

ps some brand of SB may say for Diaharrea but i used it mainly for Const so probably for both it works and not a cure unless i just have not taken big enuf doses to establish that - i will have to do more researh as seldom for long even used full suggested dosing.

8th year now, still fighting with the beast. I'm really happy for you Maurice like you're my brother, not only because you cured yourself, but because you proved the medical world wrong. Sibo is curable without a doubt. A good friend of mine (we grew up together, same age, same eating habits - sugar, junk food all day, every day) developed Sibo. At some point it started to really affect his day-to-day life. He couldn't eat well, diarrea, extreme fatigue, brain fog, you know the symptoms. Anyway, somehow he got a prostate infection and he went to see a urologist. He never said anything about Sibo, he went there only for the prostate infection. The doctor put him on antibiotics for many weeks, changing antibiotics every now and then because the bacteria, whatever it was, kept adapting and mutating. So, after many weeks of doing that, at the end of the antibiotic course, the prostate infection was over and Sibo was over too. Just like that. Accidental cure. It's been about 5 years now and he's perfect. No probiotics, no nothing. Before that, he went to every gastroenterologist and all said the same things: Incurable, life-long disease, learn to manage the symptoms. My friend proved that Sibo can be cured, even by accident. Maurice proved it too. My case though is much more complicated. My vagus nerve and the Migrating Motor Complex are slow, and even if I kill the overgrowth, because of the slow vagus nerve and MMC, bacteria repopulate the small intestine and Sibo all over again. I have to try again with allicin that kills archaea, along with everything else, because archaea produce methane and it stops the MMC from working, the peristaltic waves slow down and lose strength. I'll also take prokinetics and try to stimulate the vagus nerve. According to Pimentel, which I highly respect, almost all Sibo relapses happen because of constipation and a slow MMC. And if you search about it, it makes sense. I would manage the overgrowth, feel very good for about 2-3 weeks but at the same time i would be extremely constipated and back to the beginning. It's very tricky, I'll keep trying and hopefully I'll get somewhere.

I logged in after 2 years more or less to help those people who are still suffering IBS (mostly D).

I hope this can help someone, I suffered this sickness for 7 years of my life, i know how irritating, depressing and exhausting it can be.

I did trials of tests and errors, writing all my experiences on foods, triggers, what worked and what didnt.

I really hope someone can benefit from this like I did.

What didnt work

1. Supplements like vitamin D, omega 3, zinc, fiber, etc. No supplement helped to calm down the constant gas, diarrhea and loose stool.
2. Eating FOODMAP, it helped to have less symptoms but ultimately it wasnt a real cure.

What worked

1. I did rifaximin like Maurice did, i know if it really helped to be honest but it was worth the shot.
2. Glutamine (importance 40%): this will help you to have less symptoms and help you to get LESS WORSE. I take it every morning 10 grams, before dinner 10 grams and at night on empty stomach (around 11 am) another 10 grams. After 2 years, I am still taking it

   -Glutamine will help you a lot, but it takes time. Around 2 months non-stop

3. The right probiotics (importance 50%): this was the most important step for me, i think i tried at least 13 brands of probiotics. Find the right one, thats the hardest part to find the right one for you. It has to be a really good quality with a strong effect. You cant take one basic pill each day like most people do, you need at least 3-4 times the strenght to have any effect on you. It took me 2 year to find right THE PROBIOTIC for me. I take it at the same time with my glutamine, 3 times a day.

• I felt cured after 2 days of taking the right probiotic, its like magic. 7 years of pain and 2 days of the right probiotic changed my life.

4. Enzymes and chewing your food (10%): chewing your food throughly will change your life, saliva is a digestive enzyme, used it. You need to chew your food so your stomach doesnt overwork and have time to recover. Taking a good digestive enzyme will help you digest and light up your stomach.

   -Eating less for a while also helped to ease the pain of IBS. it was hard for me to eat less because I felt I was losing already too much weight with my IBS-D, but its better to eat less and digest it well rather than eating a lot and have diarrhea.

From what i read from researches, many of us got IBS after having food poisoning. They say 1 out of 10 person have IBS symptoms after having food poisoning, it seems like we develop food allergy to everything. I couldnt eat lactose, sugar, raw vegetables, fruits after i developed IBS, which is weird if you think about it because I and you never had problem with it before developing IBS.

Now thanks god i can eat everything again, i can feel i have much more energy and my brain seems to be more awake. Its a feeling that you forget you had once in your life.

Try your best, I promise you a life with IBS is not a life. I always thinking on how I envied those people who can eat anything without having stomach problems.

I would had given any amount of my savings to have the cure.

If you have any doubt, dont hesitate to send me a message.

hi guys

i have been going through a similar thing now for 5.5 years. Ive been housebound for all that time and even bedbound for at least 1 year. finally coming out of it. i suffered with shortness of breath as my main and worst symptom but also experienced 80+ symptoms alongside this, digestive stuff being one of them. i had constipation, and at times diarrhoea, gastritis, gastroparesis, skin issues like contact dermatitis, tissue swelling including mouth and tongue, anxiety, panic, you name it, i pretty much had it. I am so pleased to say that i am properly healing now and im not relying on supplements to keep me well which was my experience in the past. i can pretty much each what i want now too and it doesnt send me spiralling backwards like it used to. i have been retraining my brain which is allowing my autonomic nervous system to regulate itself as my fight or flight mechanism would just switch on for seemingly no reason and result in all these weird and wonderful symptoms. there were other things i did too but the main thing that changed everything was the brain retraining. OVER 1 year ago I was bed bound and 2 months ago i went on a trip to WALES and walked for hours along rocky paths and even ate out at an INDIAN restaurant!! i wanted to share so that i could provide another avenue to explore. There is a way out of this guys! keep going youll get there.

Just thought I would check in and let anyone still following this thread know how well I am doing. I started L-Glutamine about 17 months ago and it really has been life changing. It took a long time to get rid of the fear of going out in public and having a bout of diarrhea, but that fear is gone now. I very rarely get D now and if I do it is minor and over quickly. I started doing 20 grams of the powdered L Glutamine a day but have now cut back to just 5 grams a day in the morning on an empty stomach. Occasionally I will take a probiotic but not often. I read an article that said for every year you had IBS symptoms it will take one month of L-Glutamine intake to get back to normal. I had IBS for at least 25 years so that would mean 25 months before my system is back to being the way it should be, I have 8 months to go lol. I can't say enough good things about L-Glutamine, if anyone is considering trying it I say DO IT, it is inexpensive, can be bought anywhere and if it works for you it will give you your life back.
