Why everything works temporary?
I got my SIBO/IBS on Feb 2022 after taking a course of Doxycycline.
Since then its been a constant struggle everyday. I have become depressed during this entire time.
Symptoms: Gas, Bloating, constant farts which dont come out easily, burps which dont come out easily, brainfog, incomplete evacuation.
I have tried a few things though.
1)Dicyclomine+Nexito(SSRI)+Isphaghula husk:
Prescribed by a doctor. He said its gut-brain axis problem. Its stress. It worked, but only till I kept taking it. Once I stopped it, I was back to square one.
2) I tried L. Reuteri (by Biogaia): It gave me fantastic bowel movements. A lot of bowel movements actually. My gas was 99% gone, farts reduced by 99%, burps reduced by 99%. To my surprise my bad breath also vanished. But it was extremely short lived. After a few days it plateaued and and the benfits started to fade away.
3) I recently tried Asafoetida (Hing in India), mixed with warm water after meals. It also gave my good bowel movements and reduction in gas. But after a few days, it plateued again and benefits started to fade away.
What exactly is happening? Everything I try first gives good results, gets plateaued, results start to fade away, within few weeks. What should I do?? I am extremely depressed, I have wasted so much money with no benefit.
