How does one shout from the rooftops?

Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: April 16, 2008

On Monday morning I found out that my hydrogen breath test was positive for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Today is my second day on 1200 mg of Xifaxan. I am also taking VSL #3. I am trying to keep my regular low-carb diet with minimal lactose. It’s going well. I don’t feel so great. Kind [...]

Tonight I saw my nutritionist for a review of my detection diet journal. I was anxious to hear her take on it all.

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.


  • Nikki: Girrlock Holmes, Hi I was just wondering if you could help. I have been experiencing severe abdominal pain after eating, bloating on an empty stomac
  • 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
  • Ian Dunford: I will do my best to help you banish all the histamines!
