All my problems were triggered by a bout of food poisoning, causing major IBS-like symptoms, an inability to eat starch w/o major issues, and joint problems.
I just read a recent Chris Kresser article about food poisoning being a common trigger of "SIBO," no idea if SIBO is really, if Chris Kresser is legit, etc.:

"Well, this speaks to kind of food poisoning triggering everything because this starts to get into that area, but we think food poisoning causes some kind of neuropathy or motility disturbance of the intestinal tract, and then you get stasis or slowing, and then the bacteria start to accumulate. I would say that probably 70% or 80% of patients who come to me with overgrowth, that’s the mechanism of action, or at least that’s what we feel is the mechanism, and that it’s a reduction in the migrating motor complexes as a result of some insult in the past."
Then they talked about some kind of drug called prokinetics to fix it:
"The problem with prokinetics is we’re kind of hitting a wall. The circuitry of the gut is not connected well, and you’re kind of forcing it to do something that — and again, it depends on how severe that is in a patient, as to whether the prokinetic will work well enough, so we’re shifting gears almost entirely. We’ve spent the last six years kind of trying to figure out, well, why is this happening from food poisoning? And that led to the next blood test for IBS that was just launched about eight or nine weeks ago. Are you familiar with that?"
Has anyone experienced major bloating and fixed it?
I've been Peating since June now, and if I go even ONE DAY without eating gelatin, it ruins me - I feel so down and anxious. Or eating some store bought cheese with vegetarian rennet can make me feel awful for hours. Basically, I'm absurdly sensitive and will feel absolutely awful if I stray even slightly. I have serious stomach bloating all the time. I also don't eat any starch, tend to eat very low fat, and drink lots of coffee. Any ideas about what to do for the bloating / especially in the light of this food poisoning stuff?
