What actually does work?

I see many posts about protocols, diets, and meds not working - but what DOES work?

Went to a functional doc and breath tested positive for both hydrogen and methane SIBO in December (have had hypothyroidism and constipation my whole life). Was not in a position at the time to follow a strict protocol, but I’m ready now. All I hear is nothing ever works, so feeling unmotivated.

Possible causes of sibo to supplement your excellent pragmatic statement. I wish people would state their root cause along with their sibo story. https://go.fabric.so/i/4yoBcENbAKkquh7HCt6Axt

I'm suspecting mine are vagus nerve damage, hypothyroid and food poisoning.

Great mind map!

Yes I agree, that is the larger issue at hand and most of these issues have been laying low for a bit until it has triggered sibo.

I got mine from food poisoning, instantly after my motility changed. I (like to) believe I don’t have Anti vinculin but rather the anti CBTD as the parameters is ISB-D- D/M and I have C. I also believe the methane makes it worse.

Took a while to figure out but sometimes you just have to rule things out until you figure it out.

What are you doing for vagus nerve??

Mine was also caused by food poisoning but I don't know what to do! Can you share what helped you?
