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 there Maurice,

    I created an account just now to reply to you to tell you that your advice worked :D

    I have been on L-Glutamine since the start of March, I take 10g a day with water, 5g in the morning and 5g at about 8-9pm in the evening.

    I started taking probiotics and took them for maybe 2 weeks, but I kept forgetting to take them. I no longer take them, just the L-G.

    I'd say I'd been on L-Glutamine for about 14-15 weeks now and I NEVER get any kind fo IBS symptoms now.

    Let me take you back to how I found your post.

    So when I was 19 (2010) after being at a music festival I contracted quite severe tonsilitis and a stomach bug. Totally flushed my system out and I was bed-ridden for over a week. Ever since then I'd been funny with certain foods; anything too spicy or too rich or too cheesey. I chalked it up to the fact that I was still a teen.

    Flash forward to last year and my symptoms had started to get much worse. Uni was super stressful and my boyfriend whom I live with has a long standing illness which requires a lot of care on my part. So all of this was getting to me which I think brought upon the symptoms much more severely than before.

    Then one morning when I was eating a bowl of cereal and getting immediate indigestion I suddenly thought "Oh no, I'm lactose intolerant." So I started taking lactase tablets and they worked for a while, but I had to eat whatever it was very quickly. I stopped taking lactase and cut out lactose entirely about November of last year.

    I got referred to a dietician and saw her in Feb of this year. She suggested to keep a food diary, so I did. One day after not eating anything that would normally cause an attack I was feeling bloated and sickly and in pain. In a fit of frustration I googled "I have IBS, is there anything I can actually eat?" and one of the search results was this forum post!

    I figured, what have I got to lose and ordered some L-Glutamine where I get my protein powder anyway (at this time it was soy protein I got)

    I arrived at the beginning of March and I started taking it. It was about 3 weeks to a month before I dared try anything dairy. I had a small glass of semi-skimmed milk - no reaction.

    I started getting more daring and had a chocolate bar - nothing.

    The only time since beginning L-G that I've had a bad reaction was one day where I'd been neglecting taking L-G and had only had 15g for A WEEK(when I normally have 10g A DAY.) But after being diligent about taking it and being careful with food I was back to eating whatever I want.

    I can now eat anything dairy I want, have spicy food, drink fizzy juice, have fatty/junk foods, eat as much veg or meat as I like and have no reactions!!

    I have spoken to the dietician since then (back in April) and she said she couldn't find anything adverse to suggest I stop taking L-Glutamine, so I'm going to carry on with it smile

    I honestly cannot thank you ENOUGH. You have literally changed my life with this. I don't know where I'd be right now if I still had such a limited diet and was having to take painkillers every time I ate.

    So once again, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart smile

      Hi, that is great to hear!!! I am just trying to help out other brothers and sisters that are on the same boat that I have been on also previously. I also thought that my life was destroyed and that I would never be normal again until I cured my self. I hope more people like you get the same results and post it here to give others hope. I stopped taking L-Glutamine already for half a year and am only taking probiotics now to see that my theory that after curing myself and healing my gut walls, I just need to keep in check my bacterial balance in my gut... And until now I have been proving that my theory is right and that after healing I just need to control the bacteria in my guts with probiotics. Have a good life smile Thanks for the post smile

      As I said I only took probiotics for maybe 10 days - 2 weeks so I'm not sure how much of a difference they made for me.

      For L-Glutamine as I said maybe about 3 weeks to a month after beginning to take it did I notice I could take dairy again without pain. smile

      Awesome! I might start taking my probiotics again, I have half a box left. Can I ask how long had you been taking L-G before stopping? Did you ween yourself off of it or just go cold turkey?

      Hi, I think that I took L-Glutamine for about around 1 year and a half.

      You can quit L-GLutamine the way you want, there is no cold turkey effect, it is safe, no addiction.

      Apologies if it came across as that, I wasn't insinuating one could become addicted to it. I simply meant did you go down from say 10g a day, to 5g and then to nothing or did you just one day stop taking it altogether?

      Hello G Shep,

      I'm happy that it has worked for you. I'm not giving up. can you tell me what brand of L-Glutamine & probiotics did you use & where did you buy them from? 

      Thanks in advance for your reply

    Hi Maurice.  Will I notice a difference if I am only taking 1-2grams of L-Glutamine a day, or should I up my intake to 10 grams before I see any changes?  I have been taking 1 gram a day for the last week and I'm not sure if that is enough.  I am also taking 5 billion probiotics at night before bed.  I take the L-glutamine in the morning also on an empty stomach.  Your response is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

      I only noticed improvements with atleast 10 grams a day. Less than that in my opinion is not enough because I also tried that low dosage of L-glutamine on my first year of IBS and it did not work. On the end of my 3rd year, I tried again, but above the 10 grams and that is when I started to have improvements.

      Hi, I am not from the UK. But I have already ordered L-GLutamine 1 KG in powder form from Amazon UK. In the end, I ordered my stuff from Prozis.

      Forget what i said above, i am confusing the spoon sizes. Kerion is right, Tea spoon equals to 5 grams. I was confusing previously with the european expresso coffe spoon with the Tea spoon. Sorry, my bad.
