August 4Aug 4 comment_113178 I am new to this forum, so please be patient with me. I am on my second G.I. specialist. I’m seeing a medical nutritionist and no one seems to be able to help me. My former G.I. doctor treated me for sibo, I took a high-powered antibiotic for two weeks which did nothing for me. He said check with my primary care about my dosage of thyroid pill so I decided to go somewhere else. This new person has me taking fiber supplements, which I feel like is just a mask. My problem started after surgery from a burst appendix in 2025. I was normal for around four months till the middle of last July and since then I’ve been up and down like a roller coaster trying to figure out what is wrong with my gut I had a lengthly talk with a pharmacist, and he suggested two of my meds might be the problem, so I went back to my primary care and explained all this to her. We are now evaluating my meds and she has taken me off my diabetes medicine, which is glipizide. I have lost a lot of weight over the last three years mostly due to this gut problem ( 100lbs)which I call In-and Out. I have a sucrose deficiency and I have EPI as well and take meds for those conditions. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Report
