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!

    Might want to do a search for your issues re: DGL (dglyzerrized licorice)....I take it daily for about 4 yrs now....it's a stomach lining tamer protector as I do take a minimal amount of otc pain meds for the OA and FM and hip mess I deal with.

    I have never dealt with reflux or gerd issues but a lot of my life dealt with constipation.....I take 1000-1500mg mag citrate or glycinate daily for years and I know this keeps me regular and helps other issues too.

    Back in the 80's I went to the ER with a stomach ulcer from a pharma anti inflammatory drug, that was the beginnning of my alternative healing days. J

    Maurice, Exactly what probiotic(s) have worked so well for you? I'd like to be sure I'm getting the kind you've had success with. And was it hard to tolerate such a large amount at first?

      Hi, I have taken first "Renew Life Ultimate Flora Critical Care 50 Billion, 60-Count",

      then on daily basis for maintenance Be-Life Bifibiol 12 Billion per capsule, 60-Count ( I take 2 capsules daily).

      This works for me, you should check which brand and dosage works for you better, not everybody may be alike.

      Good Luck

      Hi, I have check this info on mayoclinic : "The cause of diarrhea after gallbladder removal isn't clear. Some experts believe that it results from an increase in bile, especially bile acids, entering the large intestine — which may act as a laxative.

      In most cases, the diarrhea stops soon after the surgery. Rarely, it may last for years."

    Hi the VSL sachets have arrived, just waiting for the glutamine then i am going to give it a go, and see if it works for IBS C!

    Just wanted to ask if anyone has inflammation in their eyes with their IBS, also white coated tongue, or is it just a consequence of the constipation?  Its becoming much more frequent with me.

      This sounds a lot like a yeast overgrowth to me - a coated tongue is the biproduct of yeast. It can cause a bunch of symptoms like the inflammation you describe. You should go to your doctor and tell them about this, because it doesn't sound like you just have IBS if your symptoms are in other areas of your body.

      Fortunately probiotics will help to an extent, but if your tongue is very white, you may also need an anti-fungal medication.

      Yes i think yeast is a problem also.  Live in Spain though and doctors here will not consider it, just dismiss it and give eye drops!  I know its connected with my ibs problems as its when i have pain, then the eyes become inflamed.

      That is tough - see if you can find any way to talk to a specialist or even a nutritionist or something that might be able to help. I've had to use private health insurance in order to get my SIBO treatment for the same reason - no GPs in the UK seem to think it exists.

      There are some things you can do if you can't find anyone who knows how to treat yeast overgrowth though. Firstly, coconut oil is naturally anti-fungal and you can use it on your skin, or you can eat it (and it is a healthy fat). This would be good to rub near your eyes as it's a moisturiser that won't irritate your skin, and I have seen people on forums saying it kills off yeast quite powerfully when you take it orally. Beware of a strong die-off reaction - I had one within about an hour of taking it for the first time, it feels awful but unfortunately that's how you know it is working! If you decide to try it, start off with small amounts and gradually increase it so you know the amount you can tolerate without feeling too sick. You can cook with it or simply melt some and swallow it, if you can stomach it.

      The VSL should also help. There is also an anti-Candida diet, which basically involves cutting out whatever the yeast may feed on, namely carbs and sugar. It isn't a fun diet, but it will help the other things you are trying to work properly for the time being.

      Hi Bermuda,

      Not sure if it's the same inflammation as yours, but I find if I have too much sugar in my diet, my eyes go a bit red, and if I have dairy, as well as other symptoms, my eyes seem to go a bit sore and heavy.

      Had this about 10 years, in my 40s, avoiding gluten and dairy helps but certainly not curing it. One Imodium per day, but I'm gonna try the l glutamate and see if it helps along with the usual Lamberts probiotics that I normally use.

    Hi Maurice, just wondered how long you were on Rifaxamin before you went onto the healing - probiotics / glutamine protocol? I'm doing the same thing but have a prescription for 30 days but it sounds like you did 60 days?

      I was only given 2 weeks of Xifaxan ( on day #3)...I live in the US so wonder if the UK has a longer duration of treatment...Thoughts...

      I'm in Canada - so I"d assume it would be similar, but I requested the Rifaxamin from my doctor and he was going by the study I brought to him that was based on 30 days treatment. Doctors here aren't even aware of this antibiotic. Did your doctor give that to you for SIBO?

      Hi, I cannot remember, but I am sure that it was at least one month treatment. If I am not mistaken, I think it was one month...

      I also took probitotics along with the Xifaxan treatment. My plan was to flush out the bad bacteria and after introduce good bacteria to my guts daily. I beleive that the guts should always be populated with good bacteria so that the food and vitamins can be absorbed by our guts.

      Killing all the bacteria will and not introducing good bacteria back in will most likely make it harder for our guts to absorb the vitamins and minerals from the food.

      Hi Maurice, I do take probiotics but they seem to cause issues more than help right now. Which probiotics did you take that you found helped the most? Was it VSL#3? or HMF?

      I have got the VSL 3 but have not started taking them yet, just the glutamine.  Am getting confused by people saying that adding bacteria before you have cleansed the gut, will cause more harm than good.  Dont think i can get the antibiotic here, and have no way of testing that i have bad bacteria, but would like to try something.  What do u think?

      Hi Bermuda, Why don't you try Peppermint oil? This kills off bad bacteria but not the good bacteria like oregano oil would but that is something to try for a short period of time as well. Peppermint oil really works. If you have leaky gut then taking probiotics before you've healed can cause issue for some.

      It's really annoying when people say that - it had me confused for a while too, until I actually tried probiotics myself and saw the results. Maybe having an overgrowth of good bacteria is something that can actually happen, but if it were, people would be reporting that probiotics increase their symptoms in some cases, and I have not read any reviews or acccounts of this happening. Sometimes people report an initial reaction as the body gets used to it, or they report that it doesn't do anything, but I have never come across someone saying that probiotics continuously make their condition worse. This leads me to believe that it is much, much more likely that bacterial overgrowth is down to bad or pathogenic organisms. In any case, it's worth a try - it can't do you any actual harm. If you can't get any drugs then it's really the only other option out there - like maurice says, diet can help but it can't fix it, I would know!

      I tried posting a response here about a study comparing groups of herbal pills against xifamin, but the silly moderators decided to delete it..  which is a great sign of the moderators on this forum when I'm posting relative and helpful information.

      The study basically concluded that the herbal OTC pills were AS effective as xifamin at a fraction of the cost.  But seems you will have to google it instead yourselves 'xifamin herbal alternative' should get the study up.

      If Maurice sees this: Can you look at it and see if you think the herbal option does the same thing as xifamin?

      Peppermint oil was really working for me in the past, I would definitely try that first before taking the antibiotics. My gut has since become damaged and unable to handle any essential oils or probiotics.

      Hi, Adding good bacteria will help to push out and reduce the population of bad bacteria. There is now negative side in adding bad bacteria in any phase of the treatment. I took probiotics daily after taking antibiotics. The antibiotic will help speed up the process of reducing the population of bad bacteria. It is impossible to eradicate 100% the bad bacteria in the guts, we can only keep the balance between good and bad bacteria. But from what I know, we need the bad and good bacteria in our guts, it just has to be in balance and we cannot let the bad bacteria overcome the good bacteria or we will have problems.

      Thanks Maurice, I did try Renew Life years ago and I'll take a look at he Be-Life Bifidiol. I've used HMF Replete, SBO (Soil based Organisms are the best probiotics - many companies make these), I have a fridge full and only a select few I tolerate - the others can make me severely ill (it's complex for me). If you're taking antibiotics make sure to take the probiotics 4 hours away from the abx. After being on antiboitics I would take VSL#3 - it has 450 Billion bacteria that repopulates the gut after.
