100% WORKING TREATMENT for my IBS!

Hi, I am writing this to try to help everybody that I can because I have been on the same boat as you guys and gone through this living hell for 3 years!!!  Short description about my previous case was that I could almost eat nothing, only eat what is normally designated for IBS menu, I was always feeling that I had to go to the Bathroom, I would have IBS-D attacks daily, even taking a lot of Imodium would not work totally, painful bowel cramps, the whole works… I could go on with the list…but you guys already know what are the symptoms from personal experience.

Doctors give this autoimmune disease the name of IBS because they are totally clueless of why this happens, so they just grab all the symptoms and put them in one bag calling it IBS… to me it is just the doctors another way of saying they are clueless but they don´t want to show it to us so they won´t look bad.

Dr. Pimentel who has come up with the theory about SIBO is the cause makes me think that he is correct, this is the only one doctor that had a clue.

Now for the Treatment that I used daily :

From 10 gram to 30 grams of L-Glutamine, to repair the damaged intestinal mucosa and lining. Repairing this will block big food particles from entering the blood stream directly due to the holes in the intestinal lining cause by the bad bacteria.

 12 billion Probiotic daily at least, start by using the 50 billion probiotic and then after seeing results you may try to decrease to cheaper probiotics, but don´t go below 10 billion.

Using the SIBO treatment first if desired:

Use Xifaxan ( Rifaximin) antibiotic to wipe out the bad bacteria but this will also wipe out the good bacteria ( check for Dr. Pimentel’s SIBO treatment). While you are doing this, I advise you to take probiotics daily to compensate the bacterial slaughter in the intestines. You can also start L-Glutamine ate the same time to repair the intestinal mucosa and Lining.

After the Xifaxan Treatment, keep on taking the heavy duty 50 billion probiotic daily and glutamine. After getting better, you may try to change the dosages of L-Glutamine and Probiotics and see how you adapt to lower dosages to try to save money.

Since many if not all IBS people are prone to getting E.Coli overgrowth again, you will have to keep on taking L-Glutamine and Probiotics for the rest of your life. I am on this treatment for 1 year and now I eat Pizza, Junk food, Spicy food, drink sodas and Coca-Colas and am totally normal as I was before. I will not say I am cured because it must be an auto-immune disease, but you may keep it in check and be 100% normal by just taking this for the rest of you days ( L-Glutamine and Probiotics).

I have tried previously all know medications for IBS, Antidepressants, anxiolytics , antispasmodics, tried acupuncture, etc. and I was only 30% better, because this medicines do not fix the problem, the just drug your gut to numbness…

This treatment will take around 6 months to reach 100% improvement, but you will notice improvements after 2 months, so be patient.

Good Luck to all and may god help you!

      Hi, still with just probiotics and going well here. Right now I am stuck on the vessel in the middle of the ocean with a bad storm. I was supposed to get off , but I am stuck until the weather gets better. The interesting part about the bad weather is that we are low on food and out of water, meaning I am forced to drink Soda on every meal, since the boat that brings water and food cannot come and deliver with bad weather. I still am good with this experiment and will keep you guys posted. good luck to everybody.

    hi maurice

    wanted to ask your advice about a new problem.

    i haven't had IBS  or bowel problems ...beyond constipation - to my knowledge tho constipation is a bowel prob i suppose....but recently have had a tinge of alimentary bleeding and very slight tightness when passing stool.

    i decided to explore bowels issues as i have autoimmune thyroiditis and as hippocrates said all disease begins in the bowel...so have been taking L Glutamine for about 10 days now....on the basis that i may have intestinal impermeabilty and it would be wise to try to heal and seal the gut. could L glut cause this prob if its not indicated do you think?

    i quit grains about a year ago and have just started excluding dairy.

    there are 2 poss issues

    1/ i'm taking some herbal meds steeped in alcohol....in your experience can alcohol for meds be a prob?

    2/ i had a cup of coffee with a spot of cows milk ....AND i'm ashamed to say,,,,da da ...some biscuits....! 

    any idea whether any of these could have caused a reaction? do you think its a reaction. have NEVER had rectal or alimentary bleeding except with piles before...and so am slightly freaked out.

    your comments and advice would be very much appreciated. hope you're doing well yourself? is the storm over now?

      Bleeding is usually listed as a warning sign that should always be reported to your doctor, without fail. It is usually nothing, but as nice and helpful as the people on this forum are, it would be unwise not to seek a professional opinion on it if you can.

      will stop taking L Glut now been on it 2 weeks or so. Could that be enough time to have had an effect Maurice?

      thanks for your concern amy but i'm fine!

      HI, L-Glutamine does not have those side effects that you are describing, L-Glutamine above 40 grams a day may create depression or some signs of constipation, but no bleeding included. You better check with a doctor because that bleeding part is something else, it could be also cracks on the rectal walls due to difficult passing of stools which is no alarm, but double check with a professional.

      From what I understand your problem is constipation? Ease off on the L-Glutamine if you feel more constipated and take probiotics to help. 

      Magnesium and fiber helps constipation while you are on L-Glutamine. 

      Good Luck.

      Thanks. Yes it was a touch of haemorrhoids coming back.

      Have taken mag and its settled down.

      yes i'm inclined towards constipation. ok have eased up on the L Glut...but should I continue with a low low dose....? Don't worry i keep my GP informed about what I'm doing... he's out of his depth and tells me so...but i'm happy to assume responsibility for my own health.

      the only evidence that i have intestinal premeablility is having this autoimmunity.

      Is there a test for IP?

      Its so new to the medical literature that i think its still more of a theoretical construct than a reality to most medics

    Hi Maurice,

    In my frantic and desperate search for an IBS cure (syndrome which has made my life miserable for the past 3 years – I’m D-type)  I have found your post and suggested therapy  to eradicated SIBO. As you said, the doctors I have consulted so far seem clueless  about the real causes of this desease and therefore are unable to offer proper solutions. I have tried everything so far, from antispastics to microkinesitherapie, agopuncture, yoga and meditation with zero results. I have though always refused taking anti-depressants.  I would be interested in trying what you propose but I have a couple of questions for you first and I hope you’ll be willing to answer me:

    Did you use the treatment based on Xifaxan before switching to L-Glutamine and 50 Billion Probiotics daily? Do you think it is necessary to go through the Xifaxan? This antibiotic concerns me a bit; as it also erases all the good bacteria I fear it exposes an already damaged gut to any sort of infections /external attack, don’t you think so? Should I go for the L-Glutamine + 50 Billion Probiotics only, do you think it could be effective enough?

    How long the treatment with Xifaxan last for?

    Did you follow any special diet during the treatment? If so, what was it based on?

    Thank you for your help

    Karim

      I know your post was addressed to Maurice but I just thought I would say (as someone currently on antibiotics for SIBO) that the good bacteria in your gut are easily replaced if you're taking probiotics anyway, and while you're taking the antibiotics you can eat live yoghurt and fermented foods if you are worried about that. I honestly haven't noticed any negative effects of this treatment, and if you are taking a strong/good quality probiotic afterwards it really won't be a problem. Xifaxan is not absorbed into the blood stream - it only affects the gut - so the effect on the rest of your body is minimal. I would say it's definitely worth a try. I'm not on that particular type of antibiotic but you will be giving the good bacteria from the probiotics an advantage if you do the treatment in the order Maurice did, especially if you have any really nasty bugs lurking in there. I think you can probably take L-Glutamine straight away though - I have seen lots of people who experience symptom relief (though not a cure) from just this supplement alone.

      Hi amymeyer, thank you for your reply! I will definitely try to get a prescription for thr Xifaxan and test it. From other websites, I understand I have to take a daily intake of 1200mg (spread in 3 doses) for 14 days, does it sound right to you?  [confused] Thanks a lot.

      That's actually the same dose I'm taking of a different antibiotic at the moment, so I think it does sound about right. No problem! Good luck.

      Hi, I took Xifaxan before L-Glutamine and Probiotics. But I think that it would be better for you to start also the probiotics and L- Glutamine during the treatment with antibiotics. That way you will be healing your gut the same time you are killing off the bad bacteria. But if you are going to take everything at the same time, take the probiotics only a couple of hours after the antibiotic, because the antibiotic kills every bacteria independently if it is good or bad. What amymeyer said is true, Xifaxan does not cross the blood barrier, it stays in the guts, so you do not have to worry about it going into your bloodstream like other antibiotics. If you want to skip the antibiotics, then I think that it should also work just with doing the healing treatment with L- Glutamine and Probiotics, but of course it will take longer to see the results, so it depends on how desperate you are on getting better.

      Good Luck and give us feedback on how it is going for you to help also other people. smile

      Hello Maurice74943, thank you for replying to me. Only another couple of questions for you (I promise):

      1.    From previous posts, I understand that the antibiotic treatment lasts for 1 month. Now, will there be cycles during this month (i.e. 1 week on antibiotic, 1 week off etc.) or I will have to take it for 30 consecutive days?

      2.    I have read that the daily Xifaxan intake is 1200mg. But, if each capsule contains 550mg and the dosage is 2 capsules a day how can I reach 1200mg? (2 capsules of 550mg each = 1100mg)

      Thank you

      Hello Maurice, I am still waiting for your reply to my last message so I can start the treatment as soon as possible:

      1.    From previous posts, I understand that the antibiotic treatment lasts for 1 month. Now, will there be cycles during this month (i.e. 1 week on antibiotic, 1 week off etc.) or I will have to take it for 30 consecutive days?

      I can't carry on with these symptoms anymore.

      Thank you for your understanding

      Hi, sorry for the delay, but I am not always on the internet every day, I have some periods of time that I may take a week or two to reply, other times I check it daily. But I always come back to check this forum in the end smile

      About the antibiotics, I did it for a long period of time ( one month more or less), but from what I read on the internet, it looks like the treatment is normally 15 days and not 30, so that is why sometime I think that maybe my doctor went overboard with my case and that I am not the best example for the antibiotics treatment. Since we are talking about antibiotics, I would prefer for you to check first with your Doctor and double check the best schedule. But about the cycles, there are no cycles, you take every day, all the way to the end. smile

      And about the dosage, 1100mg should also work. 100mg less will not make the diference. Keep us posted about the results smile
