I don't visit the forums much anymore, but I just wanted to post about something new I'm doing that is working amazingly for my digestive issues, in case it helps anyone else. Every morning I've been replacing my normal breakfast with a mixed fruit smoothie that has a tablespoon or two of psyllium husk powder. This simple change has made a dramatic reduction in my bloating, gas, and burping, which I had thought might be SIBO. It's also greatly increased the quality of my poops, and I pretty much don't even have to wipe anymore (that's a first for me).
Also, I'm not sure if it matters, but I've been using frozen peaches as the base for my smoothies, usually with a bit of mango and a small amount of berries. I feel like the peach has a very good fiber type that is easy on the guts. I've had digestive issues for years and literally spent thousands and tried all sorts of things with poor results until this. If you are in a similar boat and haven't tried psyllium let, give it a try and let us know how it works out.
