All of the above most likely

Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: November 17, 2009

Does this picture make me tear up (and sob uncontrollably) because
A) I grew up without a mother, who died when I was 10?
B) I’m afraid I’ll never have a child of my own? This used to be totally okay; I even went through the trouble of falling in love with a man who also didn’t [...]

post xifaxan / on erythromycin

Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: October 23, 2009

A quick post to update…I finished up the Xifaxan on Monday. I have been taking Erythromycin at night before bed per Dr. Pimentel’s June 2009 study in Gastroenterology & Hepatology. My pharmacy only had 250 mg tablets, not the suspension of 50 mg specified in the study. There was an afternoon of discussion in the [...]

The Restless Leg Syndrome, SIBO, Celiac Connection
Interesting yet not completely new idea. Be sure and follow the link to the specialists’ site as well.  
I am waiting for the chronic multi-illness/SIBO connection research to catch up with the digestive-distress caused by SIBO reocurrance research (there isn’t much.) I wonder what happens when antibiotics are administered, say [...]


A Year Without Cake

A blog about Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO/SBBO) written from a patient's perspective. Definitely not a definitive medical guide. Please do not read this blog as medical advice but rather experiential info from a well-researched, but often super-brain-fogged patient.

  • Girrlock Holmes: At least for a few weeks; if it doesn't work I wanna eat salami and rasberries with you in a cabin in the woods in the mountains. xo
