For some GI issues, this is actually a real solution used today. I learned about it from a SIBO diagnosis, which is treated with antibiotics and dietary changes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_intestinal_bacterial_overgrowth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_intestinal_bacterial_ove...
- hanniabu 3y agoI wish it were that easy. I've had sibo for 3 years now, originally methane sibo, took 2 rounds of xifaxan and neomycin and 3 rounds of xifaxan alone and now still have hydrogen sibo. I've tried many other herbal treatments, done a ton of tests, tried probiotic loading to overcome it, but nothing seems to have really worked. Worst part is eating the same meal, for every meal, day in and day out because it's the only food that doesn't give me issues.
