Thanks for watching! Have you been confused by your SIBO results? Tell me about it here in the comments, or ask a question!
I love that you share your experience! Thank you! I wish I had a naturopath like yours, they sound great!
Indeed, she is a great partner! This is the trick with practitioners...more than anything, it's important to find someone who is willing to work WITH you and really listens (and, of course, has the expertise you need). Thanks for watching!
I’m very impressed with this channel- outstanding content. I’m getting ready to start first round of treatment. After watching this channel I’m now prepared for the possibility of continuing another round. I really appreciate getting the whole story.....i.e. sharing specific details during/after both treatments. The good bad and ugly. Thank you for all your work and everything you do to help us.
Aww, thank you so much, Kevin! I appreciate your feedback, and I'm even more glad it's helped you, that's why I do it!
If you're in a place where you're feeling like you need more help, I'm right now enrolling students in my brand new online program, which is designed to take you from food anxiety, endless questions, and second guessing to a confident plan for calm digestion. If this sounds like help you could use, I encourage you to book a call to learn more: confluencenutritionappointments.as.me/discovery-call
Take care, and thank you so much for watching!
So excited to get started. And very happy for you about your test. Good luck with the next round!!
Thanks Cindi!
Yay so glad it worked! I've just started with a biofilm disruptor for 3.5 weeks before the neomycin/rifaxamin treatment and making sure I'm doing all I can. Fortunately my base was 11, high of 22 after 60min so hoping that one round solves the issue 🤞 thankful to have found your videos I will certainly keep a diary and stay aware of symptom changes (I never thought about stools floating being an issue 🤷🤔) so I very much appreciate your videos and process! :)
Yay, JL, I'm glad you're finding value here. Good luck with your treatment, and keep me posted! Thanks so much for watching!
Hi there! What about your symptoms post treatment? Bloating, constipation, skin and brain fog? Before clear passage, what supplements will you use everyday? Probiotic, prokenitic, IGg’s or peptide 157? I’ve been researching for a long time. Glad to find you and look forward to hearing from you:)
Hi Kevin! I talk about my symptom changes in this video: ua-cam.com/video/ZocMJ9eZjgI/v-deo.html. And the Clear Passage folks want me to use rifaximin while I'm doing treatment to protect against anything that will be stirred up. So I will be using that plus neomycin, and biofilm buster (probably NAC, if I can still find it then), and the occasional binders if I feel bad (GI Detox is my favorite). I may use probiotics as well, though my ND has been recommending against. I sometimes use IgGs at a low dose, higher aggravates me, and I've never tried peptide 157.
Thanks for watching!
I am sorry you have SIBO. I have had it for at least five years and the attacks are horrible. Not eating anything with sugar in it prevented the attacks for me
I'm sorry your attacks are horrible, and I'm glad you've discovered your triggers. I'm doing well now, I recently tested negative! video coming soon!
@@ConfluenceNutrition I have not had a SIBO incident in some time, thank goodness. Now I have something else. Two trips to the emergency room for pancreatitis symptoms, but the CT was negative. My primary care has me on two different antibiotics, bot co change after 3 days on them.
@@dwheeler016 oh no, i hope you feel better soon!
What herbals do you recommend? the antibiotics didn’t work for me and it actually caused me C diff m
Make video for bitters for appetite. Does fennel and ginger helps with appetite?
Hi, thanks for the idea, I will look into that, I don't really know a whole lot about bitters. But yes, fennel and ginger are well known digestive herbs to improve appetite and digestion. Thanks for your question!
Lot’s of thanks DR
Could you please tell me what is the best enzymes supplement that help cancer patient
Hi there, really, any general enzyme could be helpful, the question is, which does your body tolerate well? I would recommend the Enzymedica brand Enzymedica Gold, and if you don't feel right with that one, choose a different one. As always, start low and go sloow to find your appropriate dose! Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition thanks and I appreciate your help 🌹🙏❤️
@@user-zt5sm8tl5q You're welcome!
Hi, many thanks for your valuable videos. What is your usual diet? What kind of foods you eaten before, during and after treatment?
Hi Stella, in short, my usual diet is the diet that minimizes my symptoms, and it's unique to me. My food triggers include some oxalate foods, some fodmap foods if eaten in too much quantity or frequency, and some histamine foods. I generally eat rice with meat and a veggie side at every meal, even breakfast. I didn't change my diet during treatment, but now that I've concluded it, I've been able to reintroduce some foods, and still have to try a few that would really make my life more convenient, like eggs. For you, it will be unique! This is the exact kind of things I help my students figure out inside my program. I spend a lot of time on this because it rarely fits neatly into one of the pre-made diet boxes. Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition you just don't know how much you have helped me to heal my gut! God bless you
@@stellat2405 I'm so glad to hear that, Stella! Thank you :)
@@ConfluenceNutrition I thank you Amanda. One last question. Why did you go with 21 days rather than 14 days with Rifaximin? I am really interested in your opinion on this
@@ConfluenceNutrition hi Amanda, just a small reminder as I really need your point of view on this. Why did you go with 21 days rather than 14 days with Rifaximin? I am really interested in your opinion on this
Where did you get this tested? My hospital only tests for hydrogen :( and I can’t find anyone local that tests for methane and hydrogen sulfide (the new SIBO type). Any suggestions or recommendations? I look 6 months pregnant and I have looked like this for almost 2 years. Even if I don’t eat anything I haven’t had the morning skinny in over 2 years.
Initially, my naturopath ordered my tests for me. In the US, you can request your own test from TrioSmart. You can also work with the FoodMarble device, if you have a practitioner who can request SIBO challenges for you. I also have a video on my channel about how to access SIBO testing without a doctor, it's most relevant if you're in the US. ua-cam.com/video/S20Oi96Z6aQ/v-deo.html
Really good video, i'm curious if you also had candida. And, can you have sibo and candida at the same time?
Hi David, you can definitely have both at the same time. Normally, we all have some amount of bacteria and yeasts like candida living in our gut, and the good guys should keep the bad guys in check. Treating SIBO (or anything else, for that matter) with antibiotics can lead to a candida/yeast overgrowth, and I was prescribed an antifungal after my SIBO treatment, which helped me feel even better. Thanks for watching.
@@ConfluenceNutrition Thanks for replying.
@@davidwarren6070 You're welcome :)
I finally got my rifaximin from India. My gastro doc seems very vague and now I have a10000 questions about how to use the rifaximin and neomycin, not to mention what happens after 2 week course. This is my first use of this medication. Tried naturopath and the herbals made me sick. Two plus years of this after severe food poisoning. Are you able to help in any way, and if so, what would the cost be? (I contacted you before, a few weeks ago and you were so helpful.) Lois Taylor
Hi Lois, these are absolutely the kinds of questions I help my clients with, as many people have the same experience when they start working on SIBO treatment!
I prefer to discuss pricing together on a call after I've determined whether you're a good fit, as I have a few different payment options. Here's a page where I discuss the program a little more fully: confluencenutrition.com/calm-digestion-method . If that looks to you like it may be a good fit from your perspective, please book a discovery call with me so we can discuss further. I look forward to connecting!
Wow after my treatment of Flagyl, for two weeks, they never retested me...I feel awful. 4 months later my doctor keeps dismissing me, telling me I have acid reflux put me on ppi on and off for 8 months. I got sicker.
If you're trying to treat SIBO, it's important to retest, as it sometimes can take a few rounds to eradicate...
Hi, do you have Gilbert’s syndrome? I ask because my naturopath said that antimicrobials wouldn’t suite me and I have Gilbert’s, also I’ve developed allergies and don’t understand what’s going on. Dairy, egg whites, barley, peas, mushrooms, Brazil nuts. Also my LPR persists and I’ve been eating really healthily.
HI Angela, no I don't, or maybe I do but don't know it? It affects your liver's ability to detoxifiy certain things? Do you experience symptoms when you eat those foods?
How much was the total price of rifaximin? I just got my test results and waiting on my prescription but I researched that its $2,350 for the 14 day treatment(42 tablets).
Hi Cesar, i paid about $150 for generic rifaximin from a Canadian pharmacy. (Can ship meds.com) It had to travel to me via India, and my doctor had to call the Rx into the pharmacy. Sometimes US based insurance will pay for it, if it’s coded right. And sometimes if paying is a a hardship, some doctors will give you enough samples to make up a whole round of treatment.
@@ConfluenceNutrition thank you for the reply. Yes my doctor gave me the sample packs to make a complete prescription. I was shocked that the $2.5K price is a thing. Even more shocked that doctors have enough to give it away for free.
@@ALIENsosa It's not ideal, but at times it's all we've got :(
Do you see people via online? I would love to work with you for digestive issues ❤️ I believe I have SIBO as well
Hi Monica, yes, I do! And I just opened doors for my brand new online program to help you go from food anxiety, endless questions and second guessing to a confident plan for calm digestion. We're starting on June 29. Book a call with me here to learn more: confluencenutritionappointments.as.me/discovery-call I hope to meet you soon!
Which doctor or expert helped you with this, cause i don't think i have sibo test in my country.
I'm from israel btw.
Hi, I am working with a licensed Naturopathic doctor in California, USA. You may be able to get a SIBO test through a European country, if shipping can make it back on time, but I don't know. Thanks for watching!
How long did you take off between the back to back rounds? it sounds like you did it two weeks after your first round and then did another?
I think the rounds were about 5-6 weeks between. The first one was started around Feb 20, the second in mid April, and the third around June 15. I had to wait to receive my meds, and also to do follow up testing, which requires 2 weeks post treatment wait time.
@@ConfluenceNutrition Thank you for your reply!! My test looks identical to your second test but my methane was at it's height at 160 min and it was 10 but my main problem has been constipation. My Gi doc had me on xifaxian and just finished up. It helped with the other end of that same problem and the first week and a few days things were good but I think when I added florastor is when I screwed up. Thanks for your help!
@@fR_eN You're welcome!
Hello again! I am on day 12 of my rifaximin treatment and it will be completed in 2 days. I had a horrible die-off reaction on day 7, since then using lots of supplements like l-glutamine, collagen, and zinc in case of a leaky gut situation. But my question is, should I take fluconazole (or any other antifungal agents) after my rifaximin treatment is done? I have both nail and scalp fungal issues since 2020, and I am worried about having an undiagnosed candida overgrowth. I heard about using 200 mg fluconazole for 21 days, do you think that this would be too harsh on my liver or you have used this or other antifungal medications already with no serious side effects? Thanks beforehand! :)
Well, I can't really say if you should or shouldn't, but I can share that my ND recommended something similar for me after my previous treatment round, and I did it. I didn't notice too much direct change, but when I stopped, some symptoms got a little bit worse. And one thing I've noticed is that my joint pain is markedly better. I recently heard Dr. Ruscio answer a question about this in this podcast episode, I highly recommend listening to his answer, as his summarizes the research about this: drruscio.com/answers-on-oral-antifungal-medication-bismuth-thiols-curcumin-stomach-acid/ Thanks so much for your questions, and for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition Thank you 🙏
@@gryma1313 You're welcome!
i did fluconazole, it is heavy on the liver, and didn't do anything for my candida.
look up dr daniels, gum spirits of turpentine and sugar cubes. spend two weeks considering and learning the protocol, dosage is important, but it kills candida and parasites, said to be like no other. nudge me in a few weeks and i can report back how it went for me.
@@johnline thank you! I have hair and nail fungal infection also apparently oral thrush. That's why I had to take an antifungal at some point anyway, right now I am on day 3 of my flucanazole treatment and I am having diarrhea kind of reactions and lots of gas since day 2 of the treatment. It is definitely doing something and I want to go on till day 21. Meanwhile I am avoiding alcohol at all costs and taking an artichoke supplement 2 times a day to support my liver. If fluconazole doesn't help with my yeast infection I will try oregano oil I think.
Which natural path are you saying ??I need help to🙏🏻
Hi Mary, mine is local to me in northern California, so I don't think she can help anyone out of the area. If you're looking for help, though, I've just launched a brand new program to help people with unpredictable bloating, constipation, and diarrhea go from food anxiety, endless questions, and second guessing to a confident plan for calm digestion...Does that sound like it might be able to help you? If so, you can schedule a time to talk with me more about it here: confluencenutritionappointments.as.me/discovery-call Hope to see you on my calendar!
@@ConfluenceNutrition yes I was thinking to make an appointment with you but I change my mind when you said a natural path is help you ,how are you going to help me if you are going to someone else for help????? I don’t know how that’s going to be possible ??so no thank you..I hope you understand what I mean
@@maryabraham9182 Hi Mary, well, it's true, I can't prescribe Rx meds, but I CAN walk you through just about every other facet of the process, like diet changes, supplementation, and how to use all those tools in your day to day life. Your ND or doctor usually doesn't have time to help with allll the questions that come up, and the nuances of how your body is responding.
I decided to work with an ND because it's difficult to clearly see your own case. Many of my clients also have an ND or MD on their team, and I often find these people get the best results.
But if you don't feel like it's the right support for your right now, that's fair! I'm here if you decide it's support you need
Can you talk about glucose vs lactulose tests and which ones you recommend? Also can you share which supplements/antibiotics you took for both rounds? Lastly, do you suffer from constipation?
Hi DmvHut, glucose and lactulose tests have a similar accuracy. THe glucose test is slightly more accurate, but less accessible generally. I took rifaximin 550mg 3x/day + neomycin 550 mg, 2x per day, both rounds for 21 days, along with NAC 2x per day as a biofilm buster, sunfiber supplement (powder, 1/2 scoop twice daily) during round 2, and I used GI Detox binder for nausea at times when I felt die off. I also normally use Vitamin D, magnesium citrate, P5P, melatonin, L-tryptophan, amino acids + lysine, and a few drops of iodine daily. And yes, I have struggled with constipation (with episodes of diarrhea) for years now. Since treatment, the constipation is much better. THanks for watching!
