Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth

Posted By Sophie (Portland, Pdx) on 05/22/2012

I have Small intestineal bacterial overgrowth, known as SIBO. My symptoms were chills, fever, nausea, headache, discomfort pressure in my abdomen ( no pain just pressure), I took every test available all negative. Went to an ND who had me take the hydrogen breath test, which was positive. I took one month of natural antibiotics (garlic, berberine, oregano oil). After the antibiotics I had a yeast infection, sinus infection, bumpy rash just along the edges of my face from my cheekbones down to the jawline. I took probiotic the entire time I was on antibiotics, but I guess it didn't help Now I'm having a few of SIBO symptoms returning. I'm gluten free, dairy free, sugar free and no processed food and I'm a vegetarian. Is there a way to destroy the bacteria that causes SIBO?

Sophie try carrot juice. A great book you might like to read is Live Juices by Dr. Kirschner. It is dated about 1969 but you can pick up copies on Amazon. People cured an array of diseases just by drinking carrot juice. Also wheatgrass juice will probably help and chlorella and spirulina.

Look into food grade h2o2, small increasing doses... Might help?

Depending on why you're a vegetarian, you might not like this advice. Look up information about the GAPS diet. I would look at one of Dr. Mercola's recent articles about it.

If your issues match those that benefit from the GAPS diet, I don't if there is a vegetarian alternative.

According to the books I am reading Carrots used to be known a superfood and carrot juice in particular was known as an "antiseptic" for the body. There are a lot of case histories from Dr. Kirschner. Google "Kirschner carrot juice"

SIBO dramatic results from taking B-12 and Royal Jelly, and drinking ginger tea throughout the day. Ginger tea is simply made by organic fresh ginger then grate it and boiled in some water. Then strain and drink the ginger tea once cooled. I also purchased a probiotic that has Bacillus subtilis which was developed by the med. Corp in 1941 to save military men from dysentery and other digestive ailments. This Bacillus subtilis annihilates bacteria. It is really quite amazing. The diet is simple no sugar, no grains and no dairy.

Warning! My sister did carrot juice for 2 months for general cleaning. She had nothing but carrot juice or green veggie juices during that time. She got great results in terms of overall well being, but the carrot juice turned her eye lids a bight orange color. 15 years later, they're still orange. (She's Caucasian.)
