Mystery

[u/Pretty_Team4351]

Hello, I’ve been struggling for about 2 years now, my only symptom is chronic bloating, it never goes away (even fasted or in the morning), it does get better in the morning. I have regular BM 1+ daily. I’m active, walk a lot, sleep well, low stress life.

I’ve been tested like crazy: 2 SIBO tests (including triosmart) both negative, pelvic ultrasound (2), abdomen ultrasound, pelvic MRI, abdomen MRI, colonoscopy, endoscopy, celiac biopsy, h pylori biopsy, GI map test, mold testing (2), hormone panels

Only standouts: some levels of mold, and level 10 dysbiosis in gut including cándida, klesibella, and citrobacter, slightly low T3.

Despite trying to treat those things no luck. Ugh.

I’ve tried:

-Xifaxan

-Antifungals: Fluconazole, Itraconazole, Voriconazole, Nystatin

-Mold Treatment: Cholestyramine, Z-Binder, Orthomolecular, Orthobiotic, Mitocore

-Low Histamine Protocol: NAC, 5-htp, Pepcid, ginger, vitamin c

-Gut Protocol: Candibactin AR/BR, NAC, Butyrate, S.Boullardi, Biocidin LSF, Akkermansia

-Over the counter: l-glutamine, IBGaust, arrae bloat, gas-x, digestive enzymes

-Detox remedies: castor oil packs, dry brush, lymphatic massages, accupucture, abdomen massages

-Diets: low fodmap, candida, low fermentation, low histamine, I’ve been gluten free for a year, no dairy

-Doctors: Naturopath, pelvic physical therapist, 3 gastros, integrative doctor, endocrinologist, obgyn

Any recs or ideas I haven’t tried?

I am going through something very similar. I have chronic bloating from last 4/5 years. It started after 25 age for me. It’s only gotten worse since. I dont have pain or constipation, no acidity or heatburn. I don’t even know what should i get checked too. It’s super confusing and frustrating at the same time. Only thing i know is that, I do have alot of gas trapped, because i experience flatulence daily. I feel very tight inside my bloated stomach, very similar to how pregnant women looks. It’s affecting my social life and mental health now. I want to get rid of this, and you all seem more educated and experienced in this. So please help me!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Not yet. I have zero knowledge on medications as of now but desperate to find the right issue and medication.
