After 2.5 years of IBS, Ive finally met a doctor who could confirm the diagnosis...
Previously I've always had bloating and frequent loose bowels every few days... I've seen a specialist, done the scope and worked on low fodmap with the nutritionist but failed to built food tolerance...
it even reached a point where I felt worse taking vivomixx and stopped 😭😭😭😭
thru a few twists and turns, I learnt about Gutcare and Dr Wong recommended to do objective testing.
I needed to do preparation to make sure there's a good baseline.
each test involves abstaining some food, overnight fasting and 3 hours on the clinic to take my breath at specific intervals
for the sibo test, I felt uncomfortable and quite bloated before the test, so the first hour was challenging. after that I bloated and burped as usual 😮💨
for the Lactose test, I was generally okay just farting and might wanna take a dump
for the fructose test, I felt extremely uncomfortable like headache and anxious within 10 min after drinking the solution...🤯🤯🤯
I only felt better after 15 min, followed by bloating and continued burping
In all 3 test, I felt hungry and cold...
I was thankful to have my heat packs ard🥶🥶🥶🥶
my trusty medicated oil helped the bloating too 🤕🤕🤕
after a week, the tests confirmed that I'm positive
for small intestine bacteria overgrowth (SIBO) and there's a course of antibiotics to take.🎉🎉🎉🎉
( bloatedness is a normal side effect as bacteria being eliminated)
but for lactose and fructose intolerance I'll need to work with a dietitian to built back the tolerance... this is in sync with all the materials I found online, but I was hoping for an elixir🙏🙏🙏🤣
I do hope I recover and find the root cause of bacteria growth, but wanted to let more people know about this...
for now I have dropped pumpkin as it seems to be the problem
