I've been having a real struggle lately, just got over "suspected SIBO" and now I'm starting to have symptoms again. I wake up, usually early, with terrible D. I feel better after I've cleaned out, it's like doing a scope prep nearly every morning. Then I start to get horrible hunger pains. I usually have to go again 20 minutes after I eat. All day long. By the end of the evening, I am almost painfully distended, sometimes I even feel a "tugging" around my belly button (adhesions?). I have terrible gas and gas pains in the evening, and the loudest rumbling and gurgling from my guts. Go to sleep, repeat cycle.
I have looked into SCD, Paleo, and low FODMAP diets as they are all recommended to help control symptoms of SIBO. Even though I wasn't tested or anything, my GI believed that's what it was (textbook symptoms). I know I have been craving carbs, especially super sugary sweets. I want to be super positive, but even going on the least restrictive of these diets will be a huge hurdle for me.
So just today I started having a new "symptom" or whatever, I got really nauseated suddenly, completely out of the blue. I really felt like I was going to throw up. Went back to the bathroom, but instead of throwing up, I had violent diarrhea with small, gloppy bits of mucous and long, stringy, tissue-y strings of mucous. After I emptied, the nausea was gone. Happened twice this evening. Is this common with SIBO? Or anything else? Just another weird manifestation of my Crohn's? I'm happy not to throw up, even though my hemorrhoids are not loving the constant diarrhea.
