Message: <blockquote data-quote="Winnie53" data-source="post: 1149688" data-attributes="member: 160246">Kristin, thank you for sharing what's happening to you. It's so validating to know that I'm not alone.I belong to a local gluten-free group that I attend once or twice a year. The facilitator is an acquaintance that I've known for maybe 10 years now. We talk and email back an forth a bit too.Here's the thing. I thought it was just the "gluten", that if I eliminated it from my diet, everything else would fall into place. But it didn't, and it doesn't. However, it was an important first step.I joined this group five years ago. The people who get better are doing a lot of different things. It's like a part-time job. And it's a long process. But some have recovered which is encouraging. I've interviewed a few of them.Another woman, whose diet has been limited to roast beef and potatoes for years, has made progress too, though it's been steps forward, then set backs, more steps forward, etc. That she's made any progress at all has been a miracle.SIBO is big problem to tackle. I understand. There's two women from the gluten-free group that I met with regularly over the summer last year. At the time, we'd discussed taking her ill sister to Portland, Oregon to see a naturopath who specializes in treating SIBO. Here's a link to information on her work... <a href="http://www.siboinfo.com/dr-siebeckers-bio.html" target="_blank">http://www.siboinfo.com/dr-siebeckers-bio.html</a>She's about 5 hours south of me. Will get in touch with my acquaintance to see if she followed through with developing a working relationship with this practitioner, also if it helped. Her sister's condition is quite complex.I do hear what you're saying. It's overwhelming. Every time I talk with my former employer, she asks if I've gotten a new job yet. It's uncomfortable. How many times can I say, not yet? But I worry if I get a new job, I'll lose my daily routines and get sick again due to the time pressures and stress. What I can tell you is that Dr. Pizzorno is coming out with his book, The Detox Diet, in January 2017. My impression is that the methods he uses to detox patients take a few years, so it's gentler. I'm holding off on doing a detox until I read that book.Will get back to you if I learn anything that I think will be useful to you. Thanks for the heads up on SIBO worsening with fermented foods. I'll go slow, very slow when I get there. I don't get onto this site as much as I used to, but I'd like to stay in touch with you.</blockquote>
