I’m 17, I’ve had methane sibo for about 2 years now, (I had to order the tests myself because everyone kept saying it was in my head) anyways, I recently retested and the levels are a bit higher than they were before. A few months ago I worked with a naturopath and we did 6 weeks with Allicin and some other stuff like tonics, phgg and prokinetics, this did ease the symptoms a bit but it definitely didnt eradicate it. I then just dealt with the symptoms for another little while and went back to her, she then put me on oil of oregano + microclear, this definitely didn’t do anything for me. I didn’t feel any difference and not a single bit of die of. I then gave up because my dad has put in so much money for all my treatments and tests (I’m greatful).

Fast forward to this year the bloating is just getting unbearable, and the thing is it’s not always rock solid sometimes I can easily squish down on it?? but it’s so large especially for my figure. My other symptoms would be floating stools, gas (occasionally ) and if I eat out at all then yellowy soft stools. I definitely had more symptoms a few months ago such as a very bad histamine intolerance and extreme gas + bad skin but for some reason that’s settled down.

(just to add I’m quite active so I eat 3 meals and 2 pretty dense snacks in between them and with my hours during the day my meals only really get 2-3 hours apart)

anyways, I’ve seen some people talk about candibactin AR + BR from metagenics and I ended up ordering those two. I might have to talk to my naturopath again to see if she can create a plan with those two, but I’d also like to know if anyone’s completely got rid of their methane sibo and how they did it? I feel completely lost and isolated as I’ve avoided so many invites to go out to eat with friends/family and i try to explain to the best of my ability as to what sibo is to everyone around me but they don’t seem to understand

okay, I’ll try make this as short as I can. My (17F) parents have been divorced for 4 years, my dad currently has custody of my brother and I because he didn’t want my mum to have to struggle to make a larger income to care for us. (She’s had a good job for about two years now so she’s set), things were fine for the first year or so because my dad was still single and he was great with us but after that he’d start fights with me to cope with his stress, and then he got married to this insufferable woman who wants to take over everything. But the thing is he’s giving me the privilege to not have to work or pay for anything while I study for my nursing program (I am grateful I swear) but for a few months now my mum has been wanting me to go stay with her as she’s about to take over the place she works at and give me an opportunity to work with her. I LOVE my mum and I’ve never had an issue with her, I’m just not sure if I’d regret leaving, because if I do I know for a fact my dad would not accept me back. I guess it’s a bit tricky in a way because I was raised with everything that I needed and currently living in a very nice house. My mums house is very different, not in a bad way just not what I’m used to. I’ve been thinking about this decision for a long time as my mental health is getting worse day by day in this house, but then people around me say to push through it because everything I need is being provided for me.

(I don’t need anyone to call me a brat/lazy whatsoever, I have NO problem with working, but a lot of people don’t have their father providing them with stuff at my age so I’ve just been using it to the most of my advantage)

-also excuse any grammatical errors sorry
