$3.51

I have been diagnosed with hydrogen SIBO. It caused terrible diarrhea, no constipation. I have tried herbal and conventional antibiotics. I believe I still have SIBO because it has caused histamine intolerance. My symptoms are mouth and lip tingling. I have tried a DAO supplement, that works a little. I have insomnia and anxiety. I have tried prescription sleep medication and also Trazadone. I still have trouble sleeping throughout the night. Do you have any other suggestions for me?

How long have you been experiencing SIBO symptoms?:

- More than 6 months

What is your current diet like?:

- Strict low-FODMAP

How would you describe your stress levels?:

- Moderate

Hingvastak churan 1tsp with buttermilk after lunch, will prevent gas formation and indigestion Tablet Liv-52 1-0-1 after food with water will help improve digestion. Light massage on head with Brahmi oil Do Nasya with Brahmi grith 2 drops in both nostril once daily. Avoid processed foods, wheat and wheat products, spicy, nonveg food.

–SIBO can sometimes persist even after antibiotics, especially if gut motility is slow. In addition to treatment, some patients benefit from medications that improve intestinal movement, a temporary low-histamine diet, and supplements that support histamine breakdown. Because histamine can affect the nervous system, it may also contribute to insomnia and anxiety. —Rx : Kutajghan Vati – 2 tab BD after meals × 4 weeks Bilwadi Churna – 3 g BD with lukewarm water before meals Avipattikar Churna – 3 g HS with warm water Takra (buttermilk) with roasted Jeera + Saindhav – after lunch daily ----Diet Advice (Pathya): Light, warm, freshly cooked food Moong dal khichdi, rice gruel, cooked vegetables Avoid fermented foods, leftovers, curd at night, very spicy/oily food —Lifestyle: Early dinner, 12-hour overnight fasting Gentle walk after meals Stress reduction, regular sleep schedule —Follow-up: 2–3 weeks

I don’t have any idea what those supplements are or where to buy them! I have already spent so much money on supplements. I am a 70 year old woman that has already spent too much money trying to get well. I feel that this illness is killing me. I am feeling desperate.

U can buy it from Amazon, flipkart , and on kerala ayurveda products
