Hey everyone,
I have had IBS for about a year now. It seemed somewhat settled with a low carbohydrate diet but I decided to do ray peat about 2 weeks ago. So I brought on all the OJ, fruits, milk and raw sugar (added into milk).
Now, I am getting symptoms of feeling some lump in my throat. I typically get it after eating. After doing some research into GERD, i discovered that GERD is often a cause of SIBO, and if you have SIBO, you really do need to limit sugars because it will just feed bacteria.
Not saying that RP diet is bad, I really do believe in it. But for someone who now might have SIBO, what can I do? There is plenty of credible research showing low carb diet/scd diet to work very well for SIBO, because it starves the bacteria.
But that means I cant do this RP diet. Do I switch away from RP diet for a while? or is there a way to do both?
Currently, I am now taking HCL supplements to assist with low acid production. I am also eating carrot salad 2-3x a day to help. I will be taking some proper tests soon with my doctor to diagnose SIBO for sure (breath testing).
