Perimenopause & slow GI gastric motility?
Posted , 5 users are following.
HI ladies.
Since being diagnosed with small intestinal bacterial ovrgrowth (sibo) ive been spending some time in the sibo forum on another site. Seeing some devastating stories of multiple remissions etc I want to get to the root cause and its out there that "slow motility" is one of them, illoceal valve another.
My question is BECAUSE i still have these shortened cycles, which came long before the sibo, along with the stress and refulx etc CAN i link PERI to slow motility?? Another lovely poster on here said theres a definite link..
Can you guys confirm. In order to correct my current slow motility do i need to fix my hormones and that will fix the GI problem...???
I want to get rid of this monster! And funnily (but totally not really) 80% of people presenting with IBS issues are said to suffer from undiagnosed sibo. Its something that Drs werent aware of and its only coming to light now they say.
And honestly this forum is the most ACTIVE forum ive ever been involved with, there are sooooo many people on there even kids being diagnosed , its shocking.
Sorry i veered off topic, been awake half the night
Anyway i appreciate your input, thank you x

Have you tried a good quality probiotic for this?

It was taking an abundance of probitotics that likely fed this and made it work. People kept saying i had candida and treated me accordingly which is the wrong course of action with SIbo
I AM allowed however and been encourgaged to make my own youghurt with kefir grains which i plan to start today.

Have you looked at sauerkraut? That is supposed to be a very good natural way, like kefir and kombucha to get the right mix as probiotics are usually made containing a bias of one or the other good bacteria.

I decided it was my last resort to get the breath test for sibo done, THEN a comprehensive stool anaylsis BEFORE i gave in and went back to the GI for a camera scope
glad i did too..

If probiotics make you feel worse..
If you belch alot
Also bearing in mind oregano oil is quite strong, but if you aren comfy and not taking any meds that might interfere try taking one oregano oil pill in the morning and just "see" if you feel some improvement with the bloating. That kinda was a give away for me too, the oregano actually gave me a few hours of calmer gut.
