Heat and Bromelain for Sibo

5 out of 5 stars

I've been fighting shingles and digestive problems for years. Think I have SIBO, but not diagnosed by a doctor. Found out that in Europe they are using Bromelain (an anti-inflamatory made from pineapple) and Papaya enzymes for shingles. I tried that and it has helped both the shingles and the digestive problems. Since SIBO is basically an infection, I also decided to apply heat to my stomach and was amazed at the relief it gave me. I'm careful not to have the heat too hot so I don't get burned. I used to have huge amounts of gas, but now am almost to normal abounts. Also if I eat something I know will bother me, the heat helps keep it to a minimum. Hope this helps someone else. This site has been a great help to me, so thank you to all who share.

SIBO and FEVERS

After my second serious illness that caused extensive high fevers, I now know for a fact that these fevers kill ALL of the bacteria overgrowths. I come out of it with a flat belly and NO issues with any digestion, bloating, discomfort etc. Now, my question is how can I consistently create a fever environment in my gut? I also have a lower than most temperature from day to day. About a degree lower which now I understand is part of the problem. Any ideas would be great. I do not have access to an infrared sauna daily btw
