Update

Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: December 2, 2009

Something strange is going on with the blog; it looks as if everything past October is gone. This is probably only a temporary snafu, but I was thinking of posting anyway, so this update will serve as a test and a real post I suppose.
Yesterday I had flu-like symptoms, and when I took my temperature, [...]

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 [...]

More thoughts on kefir and a new Italian SIBO study

Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: October 1, 2009

I’ve taken about an 8-day homemade kefir break and gone back to a more simplistic meat-and-eggs (and cheddar cheese) Atkins-style diet. I no longer feel like a zombie walking around but I’m still very tired. I’m going to start a new batch of kefir tonight (my grains have been sitting in milk for a week) [...]

Nourishing Traditions, cultured dairy and to VSL or not to VSL?

Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: September 25, 2009

So I wanted at some point to update this blog to document my foray into both the traditional diet via Nourishing Traditions and Weston Price, as well as my kitchen adventures with culturing my own dairy, in the way of making yogurt and kefir. I guess I have been so busy making yogurt and kefir [...]

RLS/SIBO/celiac connection article

Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: September 4, 2009

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 [...]

I have spent my whole life in ruins because of people who are nice…

Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: September 1, 2009

At present I’m taking a course of Neomycin. This is my first time on an antibiotic that isn’t Xifaxan, and I’m not liking what’s going on with my body. Lots of bloating, popping out of my clothes, abdominal pain and no appetite whatsoever.
The nicest thing anyone could ever say to me when I tell them [...]

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.


  • candacevan: I learn something new every day. I'd never heard of defecation syncope, and so of course I read up on it. It seems to be one of the "reflex-mediated s
  • 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
