SIBO Sufferer
I have had IBS for what seems like my entire life. Well, at least for 35 years. I had dealt with the discomfort and pain and thought that was just how it was going to be. Limping along. Then Oct 2024 I got food poisoning or something and it set my gut ABLAZE. I couldn't eat anything without a symphony of sound coming from my gut. I was absolutely miserable. The bloating, gas, cramps, and diarrhea were unbearable. After working with my primary care physician, she referred me to a GI specialist. I ran the gamut of tests and procedures. I had a feeling it was SIBO buy my PCP always tried to tell me it was just IBS. Long story short, it was a bad case of SIBO, just as I suspected (always trust your gut!). I finished a 2-week course of antibiotics and still felt like crap and event told my GI doc at our follow up that symptoms hadn't improved. I decided to take matters into my own hands and had already been researching Silver Fern Brand protocol for Cleanup. It was time to try something different. It's been almost 4 weeks and I have felt better than I have for DECADES. I'm committed to at least 3-4 months to clean it all up, and then a restore/buildup protocol afterwards. I also take the Digestive Enzymes before I eat and that has helped as well. I have been recommending this brand to my family members who also suffer with IBS. I'm a believer!
