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

–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
