Neomycin alternative for SIBO? concerned with Ototoxicity

@GRay said in Neomycin alternative for SIBO? concerned with Ototoxicity:
@Jennifer thank you for the info, as always.
how long did it take you to clear out SIBO with Thyroid? I assume it worked because your bowel movements became more frequent?
I have used NDT for a while, but never really understood fully thyroid until I got to Ray work. Hopefully optimizing thyroid will help my SIBO as well
My pleasure.
It took about 8 weeks. I think it worked because every tissue/organ was able to function better thanks to finally getting the energy that the body’s power source (thyroid and our backup power source—adrenals) needs to produce in order to digest, absorb, assimilate and eliminate food properly, keeping the small intestine relatively sterile and the bacteria in the large intestine where it should be. Also, for retaining nutrients. Ray talked about how the body wastes minerals when thyroid function is poor so we can be supplementing high doses of them, but not retaining them if the body can’t metabolize and utilize them properly because its basic need—energy—isn’t being met. -
@Jennifer thanks
I heard Ray mentioning that. I feel I really need to figure out my thyroid optimization as a must and still straggling a bit with with dosing and timing. I often get a bit confused about symptoms/side effects.
-
@GRay, figuring out the dose and timing is challenging, for sure. It took me a year to optimize my dose and then something tragic happened that suppressed my thyroid and no amount of NDT was working because my world had changed in an instant. It took a lot of self-care and release work to get my gland to respond.

when you had SIBO, did you avoid high fructose fruit and limit sugar in general?
I keep see that fructose should be avoided with SIBO.
I thought sugar digest fast in the upper part of the small intestine therefore there is little chance to bacteria overgrowth, so I'm a bit confused with the FODMAP
-
@GRay, I didn’t avoid high fructose fruit or limit sugar, but I did avoid complex carbs/polysaccharides, fiber, fermented and cultured foods because they exacerbated the overgrowth. My SIBO elimination diet was basically gelatinous proteins (mainly scallops and broth), eggs, fresh pressed fruit juice (mainly melon), coconut water and coconut fat, then about 8 weeks later, I reintroduced dairy (goat cheese and goat’s milk).

@Jennifer thanks

You’re welcome, @GRay.

Useful info. In French. Translator needed.
See Dr d'Oro.this was a very helpful guide for SIBO.
-
@Jennifer Hi Jennifer, when you had Sibo what were your carbohydrates and protein sources?
-
Hi @GRay, my main carb and protein sources were fruit juice that I pressed myself and strained through a coffee filter to remove as much fiber as possible, Thai coconut water, scallops, gelatinous broth and eggs.

@Jennifer thank you

My pleasure, @GRay.
