I think it was David, one of the administrators, who mentioned that SIBO happens more frequently in those on liquid diets. I too could do without any carbs at all, but can't tolerate fats, veg or anything other than salmon and potatoes with nothing added. this along with water isn't too bad. Mind, it doesn't impress the docs, GI's and dieticians.
Life does suck, believe me, i'm 50 and have suffered since childhood. but for any younger person I do want you to know that they diagnose it earlier these days and they have more option of getting in there faster with meds that are very different to when I was young. So please don't be upset and make assumptions that you are going to be just like myself and Barely, and believe me, we too need your support because at least you know what were going through. Sometimes our closest friends and family have no idea quite how it is. This forum provides a lifeline for many of us.
Best wishes to all stuck on liquid diets that don't always work for us, and lets hope for some cure soon.
