Glad you stopped by the blog….Patsy and I just did a FODMAP workshop in Chicago last September. We don’t have a mid-west FODMAP on the books for this year….next dietitian event is planned for March in Providence, Rhode Island if you feel like coming to the East Coast! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/what-every-rd-needs-to-know-about-fodmaps-providence-ri-registration-9796817545

I am a dietitian and follow the FODMAP diet myself. Do you ever give seminars in Michigan? Always looking for new insight and updates. Looks like a great site with usable info. Word of managing symptoms this way is getting out there!

Low dose erythromycin 50 milligrams is often used in SIBO patients once per day at night to help the small intestinal cleansing waves. It’s not the dosing that is used for its antibiotic properties but rather its ability to help the intestine initiate a cleansing wave.

More to come on SIBO after this weekend.

Thanks, Marci. I appreciate your response. I have had IBS for years, though no one has ever found a solid solution. I have been doing FODMAP for a year, but while it work sometimes, I go right back to old symptoms at times. I am never sure why.

When you say low dose anti-biotics, what does that mean? I really worry about lowering resistance with too much. I agree that it will be good to hear from Kate about the general feeling out there.

Thanks again!

I went on antibiotics for SIBO and didn’t have any problems with side effects. (mild nausea/no D…)I followed a Lowfodmap diet with SCD during the treatment. I’m now following Lowfodmap diet and Cedar Sinai diet and on a low dose erythromycin to keep the MMC cleansing waves working. All to help prevent the SIBO from returning. I’m looking forward to what Kate can tell us from the SIBO convention this weekend! Hope you feel better soon. It will always be an ongoing battle with IBS. I have hope with the Lowfodmap diet…

You can eat essentially nothing for a day and a half, plus it takes three hours. My gastro said the treatment was taking antibiotics which usually wore off and then you needed a stronger dose until it stopped working. I don’t like taking antibiotics anyway, and this is most discouraging. Is it worth it? The FODMAP diet is working reasonably well for me (I sometimes have problems when I eat out, but I am managing, even gaining back some weight). I have had “IBS” forever. and it got much worse after a recent serious fall in which my pelvic cavity was filled with blood and left me with a hematoma for months, blocking digestion I need some expert advice on whether to go ahead with a procedure that means I can’t eat for quite a while.
