Wo sorry for the delay in responding. Unfortunately, in a blog setting I can not provide ethically responsible guidance for clinical care.

Would appreciate some direction and advice. Long history My son was born and immediately constipation was an issue. Following doctors orders put corn syrup in his bottle and then he began taking Milk of Magnesia ((3-5 yrs old).
At 4 was told he had a pouch at the end of his colon and we really monitored bowel movements.
Suffered with chronic hives for 7 yrs.( 14-21) was prescribed a Zyrtec. Began suffering side effects(night paralysis) and was weened off at 21
Severe Acne( 17-21) Accutane prescribed (20) for 8 months
Freshman yr of college(19) severe stomach distress loses 18 lbs. and he begins a dairy and gluten free diet/ low fodmop- tested for dairy and gluten intolerance- all negative- already off those foods.
Tested for H Pylori, colonoscopy all fine
Now 24, eats no dairy, gluten- exercises, healthy diet. Starting to notice hair loss, low energy and continues with intermittent stomach pain and bloating. Socially become distressed and anxious because food is always an issue.
He is an amazing trooper, reluctant to go to another gastrointestinal for more medical invasive tests with negative results. He mentioned SIBO but not sure where do go for a test. We live in the Boston area and are willing to travel. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Sorry for the long explanation.

Hi Christine,
You may want to get tested for fructose malabsorption if you find you are having difficulty digesting coconut milk. I tested positive for it after noticing reactions to pure maple syrup, apples, etc.

I am a 21 year old college student and recently got diagnosed with sibo before going abroad for a semester! Do you know anyone in the south of Boston MA area that treats Sibo? Thank you!

My daughter was diagnosed with SIBO right before she started college. She is in college in Boston. I am looking for a doctor for her to see that treats SIBO in the Back Bay/Fenway area if possible. We are from out of state and our doctors at home are not as accessible as I would like.

Hi Kate, can you explain why Jasmine rice is easier to digest. Does it have to do with the rice having more resistant starch or less resistant starch, or what is the mechanism behind this. If it has to do with the type of starch which different types of rice are best tolerated when dealing with SIBO and fodmaps.

Had 1 doctor over dose me on medications, which sent me to the ER. U have a new doctor now, she has me on Linzess, But ever since the overdose, I seem to no longer be able to stomach the medicines.

Do u have any suggestions?
Also, do u have any doctor recommendations in the dallas/ ft worth area?
(So that could be in Dallas. Arlington, plano, irving, etc.) We r willing to go anywhere for a good doctor.

We recommend Iberogast in my practice too! Can be very helpful for some but not everyone!
