Other varieties of intestinal, overgrowth, besides candida, and the two SIBO‘s? (TMI)

Yes, I’m wondering what other gut over growths there are and if Natural supplement treatments for the ones mentioned in the title will also work for ones that I don’t know about. Does this make sense?

So I had gut digestive issues for two years, With a lot of posts on that the first year.

Stinky, loose, floaters, caramel light color. It still did this on a keto diet with digestive enzymes for meat.

**Those symptoms went away for a couple weeks up to this Fourth of July weekend, using the best probiotic there is starting in may; Vizbiome (From the originator of the original VSL #3. My blood sugar vastly improved as well, which was interesting.

During and the week after Fourth of July like most Americans, I was invited to social meal gatherings. I turned down 50% of the food, but still ate some things that I probably shouldn’t have.

Then the same symptoms started up again. And my blood sugar also elevated. It’s obvious that my blood sugar is related to my gut health.

I took some colostrum last night for the first time seven years since Lyme disease, and I felt hot and cold all night long. I also took some very common anti-candida herbs under the now brand.

I recently tested Candida and it was negative, but that’s just one type of fungal. Last year I took two SIBO test and was negative on those. So obviously I have gut bugs but none of the typical ones that are tested for.

Thoughts?

Thanks Dude, you always have some good links.

My digital organization is similar to my paper organization, small piles scattered here and there!

Sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish cause and effect with this. Did something you ate cause the blood sugar problem? Or is both the blood sugar problem and the bowel problem caused by another condition, such as a problem with your adrenals or thyroid?

I've found that SIBO was often unrelated to what I ate or what antibiotics I was taking, but instead caused by gastric motility issues, mostly due to HPA axis dysfunction. Treating the adrenal problem resolved the SIBO.

When you say it smells bad, what does it smell like? I found that killed bacteria (Lyme and bart) often smelled bad, but this was quite different than the fart smell of SIBO, which mostly just produced a lot of gas.

I wouldn't worry about the color of your poo if it's just related to what you ate, eg I would get light colored poo if I ate bread, and orange poo if I ate carrots.

I never tried Alinia.

Whatever gut bug it is, minimal carbs and even fake sugar can feed it. Im on a low carb diet too.

So I’ve taken quite a few supplements now, for antifungal, and for leaky gut like l-glutamine. This calmed things down.

My low under range IgG makes me more so susceptible to gut bugs of any variety. That’s why I’m also looking for supplements that elevate IgG.

The lowest bill for IVIG With my insurance if I am lucky - would be my max out-of-pocket, which is four grand a year. I’m still not ready to do that and would need special approval anyway.
