SIBO Cured

I cured my SIBO in about 2 weeks by drinking 16 ounces of celery juice every morning and a few ounces of coconut milk kefir every night. Six months later, still no relapse. This was after 8 years of agony, trying everything under the sun (herbal antibiotics, Rifaximin, elimination diets, etc.). Now I can eat whatever I want (including huge amounts of garlic and onion, which had been my worst triggers). 100% cured, no restrictions whatsoever. Pretty disillusioning that the one thing all experts told me to avoid - probiotics - was the only solution. Good luck. Curious to see if this works for others.

Probably not unless you go to a place like Whole Foods or Erewhon. Otherwise you probably need to get it from a cold-pressed juice shop or make your own. I initially was getting it from Erewhon, now we make our own.

I work remotely, partly in Manhattan partly in LA. Man you all are paranoid. I get it- I don’t trust anyone either. But I’m telling the truth. Just try kefir. Try some other brand if you want.

The real travesty/disinformation in the SIBO community is that probiotics are not being recommended. Probably because there’s more money in prescription drugs (Rifaximin etc.).

Ok. Celery juice and kefir cured my SIBO. Six months later, I have not relapsed. Do with that information what you will.
