If ur bloat is rlly intense (to the point of frequent discomfort) consider getting testing for SIBO. Treating that definitely helped my chronic gut issues.

Yoooo lowkey will you DM me (unless you want to continue here whatever) bc this is my first time hearing about this but.. fatty stools, chronic fatigue, joint pain, weight loss/malnutrition…… How did you realize you had this and is there a permanent cure or can it only be mediated through diet?

Couldn’t dm so I’ll just say it here. I went to a few doctors to figure out what was going on but the one that gave me the sibo test was a gastroenterologist. If you test positive for SIBO then you get put on antibiotics for a few weeks. As far as I know, there is no diet for it that’s as effective as the antibiotics. Idk if it’s a permanent cure as a number of things can retrigger sibo, but I haven’t had many issues since.

And this is also kinda personal but was it super expensive? I’d say I have fairly good insurance but I recently had a couple tests run and have like $1200 in medical bills I’m paying off still lol

The test was definitely on the pricier side ($300+)😬 so I would definitely suggest checking in with ur insurance to see how much they’re willing to cover
