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 Maurice

    read your article with interest. Are you still adhering to the diet & are symptom free?

    I don't have IBS,  but my family (& I) are plagued with a rare small bowel diverticular disorder and we all constantly deal with SIBO. I have read Pimental's articles, but not really tried the regimen(30 grams/day Glutamine scares me) We are willing to try anything to keep the bugs at bay. Please let me know if your it is still successful approach 

    thanks in advance---

      Im very interested to hear what folks have to say about this, in particular Maurice. I read it's good for candida overgrowth, which is the major reason IBS for some people (or so I've read, don't know what to think). I have a bottle of the best quality oregano oil that can be found in the market seating at home, but I was a bit put off by the instructions (if you dont dilute it well it can burn and such). Would be great to read your thoughts, community, seems pretty quiet around here!

      thanks maurice for your reply.

      so you just had IP intestinal permeability....keaky gut....no infections that you know of?

      OR do you think its poss that if you might have had a bowel infection that the good bacteria you took (together with the bowel sealing) could have overwhelmed the bad with just probiotics alone?

    Thanks for your reply. I do believe you are onto something! I've increased my Glutamine of 5 grams/ day to taking a 5gram dose  4 times a day. I have also have upped my probiotics proportionally as well. I feel significant improvement in regularity and food tolerances.....thanks again for your info blog, your reply & time.

    Hi everybody, more updates on my case. After arriving home from Thailand, I got some viral/bacteria in my bowels from probably some street food I had there, I had 38.5 C fever and was feeling very bad in the guts with the "D". I went to the doctor and he gave me antibiotics, i did not have much of a choice here because I had a 3day travel to work to the otherside of the planet. So I started the antibiotics and after 24 hours I had non stop "D", that lasted for 2 hours straight, but that was my body getting rid of the dead virus/bacteria I got from Thailand. So 8 days later, i am on my last day course of antibiotics and am totally normal again since 3days ago. No more"D" and IBS-D/Sibo is still gone.

      when u were taking rifaximin, how many hours after did u wait before taking your probiotics and l-glutamine?

      im assuming you should take probiotics hours after the rifaximin, otherwise it would just kill good bacteria anyways

      Hi Maurice: a couple of questions:

      1.- While in Thailand, did you continue with the probiotics?

      2.- When you got the virus and got prescribed some anitbiotics:

      - which antibiotics were these?

      - did you do either part of the treatment at the same time?

      Thank you! Glad to hear you've recovered completely.

      I'm going to Mexico in december and Im a bit fearful of the same situation.

      Hola smile

       

      The answers are:

      1- I always take probiotics daily everywhere, i never stopped the probiotics and I am on them already for 1 year and 4 months and will go on forever. I am not taking any chances of going back to how it was before.

       2- The antibiotic was "Ciprofloxacina" for 8 days, 1 pill every 12 hours.

            I took the antibiotic and then 3 hours later took my probiotics as         always.

      Thanks, it has been already two weeks and I am totally ok.

    I have not read the entire thread, but most of it. I did not see anything about IBS-C...has anyone had success with this L-Glutamine/probiotic combo for constipation? I was diagnosed with SIBO-C by a stool test (which isn't as accurate as a breath test, but it is all they would do), and only took 3 days of Rifaximin (550/day). I did not feel any relief except my GERD went away a few months later (and then returned 6 months later along with much more severe IBS-C). I did not take probiotics during that time because my ND told me to NOT take probiotics as it would feed the SIBO (I don't believe this is true now). I did follow a SCD/low FODMAP-ish diet and take l-glutamine, but not near as much as you recommend. From what I understand from my research, a prokinetic is very important in cases with constipation, especially after treatment so the SIBO does not come back. I am thinking of doing 10 days of Rifaximin and Neomycin (needed for methane-producing bacteria that cause constipation) along with the same SCD/low FODMAP-ish diet and the l-glutamine/probiotic combo you recommend. Any thoughts? I am also considering doing this protocal without the antibiotics, but I am not sure if that is a waste of time...at the same time, it probably wouldn't hurt anything. Thanks for your input!

      Hi, I have had IBS-D. So this may be a tricky treatment for you because you are the opposite but the root cause is the same, just with an different effect which is the constipation. Try out the treatment that I describe, but work slowly on the L-Glutamine because is may or may not have a bit of a constipating effect in some people. So with the L-Glutamine, start with a low dosage and work your way up if you are ok with it. Try to take magnesium together to help the constipation at the same time with the treatment, it may help. Good luck
