Fighting possible SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth ) i was given a 3 week elimination diet. Anyone else following this or can share pointers?

my daughter suffers from this. she had some success with a FODMAP diet. It didn't get rid of the SIBO, but lessened her symptoms.

I only started yesterday. Have no clue what to expect or how to plan it. So far I'm feeling dizzy but get out and walk dogs. Now i had a weird bfast of cuke, mixed berries,a few grapes sardines, and a few walnuts. Could not eat half of it. And am running to the john. Before I would have non fat thick yoghurt with berries and flax seeds and some walnuts. It also made me run, but i would be scrounging another nut...another berry. Maybe the milk content? I was never lactose intolerant.

Did your daughter see a holistic integrative medical voodoo doc?

LOL, no, she saw a physician nutritionist at her gastro's office. First they tried her on the antibiotic that treats SIBO, but it hurt her stomach, so they tried the diet as a plan B.

the first few days are really rough and she did have a lot of physical symptoms as her body adjusted, like headaches. She pretty much stayed in bed to sleep through those first few days. But after the adjustment, she felt really good. The part she struggled with the most (after the headaches wore off) was not being able to eat onions and garlic.

stay on track 100% or else you won't be able to tell what is triggering. But you don't have to eat anything you don't like.

Hang in there!

Thank u for the advice. I am feeling less bloated today. I don't truly miss having anything but i did buy coconut cheese...apparently almond product's are not on the list.
