Gutcritters.com Garlic Tea Protocol (for SIBO)

[tanedout]

Found a great resource for gut health issues (specifically SIBO and IBS). The author of the website seems to be someone a bit like Helen who researches everything very thoroughly, and thinks outside the box.

He cured his SIBO by taking pre and probiotics, and doing a week long garlic tea protocol (so I guess very high amounts of allicin, which is usually one of the main components of herbal SIBO protools, but it's probably much stronger using lots of fresh garlic - probably like a whole pack of allicin caps after each meal)

I used a garlic press to crush one to two cloves into a glass, added fizzy water to make the garlic bits float to the top and waited a minimum of 15 minutes before drinking to allow the allicin time to form.

Please note that a clove is one small piece of a garlic bulb. I once told this story to someone who will remain anonymous, and they went home and tried to eat a whole bulb of garlic instead. Mother of God! Are you crazy I exclaimed? I’m shocked they could get most of it down without vomiting!

I soon learned it was best to take this garlic “juice” on a full stomach or risk nausea. I did this after each meal, including breakfast, if you can imagine, for about seven days. So what happened?

Well, at first I felt a lot of stomach discomfort and rumbling. Then the need to go to the bathroom became overwhelming. It was not unusual to experience cramping as well. And what showed up in the toilet was like nothing I had ever seen before or since. I can only describe it as fudge-like in consistency with a very reddish-brown hue. I’ll leave it at that.

This went on for several days until my stools returned to normal. By then all of my IBS symptoms disappeared. I was shocked to say the least as nothing else had worked until then. What the garlic killed is still a mystery to me. Was it bacterial or fungal or both? I don’t know or really care. I was just happy it, whatever “it” was, was finally gone.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, Part Eight: Treatment Options For SIBO

I plan to try this when I can tolerate FODMAPS a bit better (garlic is high FODMAP, so some people may struggle with it), but it's another that could be worth a shot - and certainly one that could potentially give very quick results.

@tanedout Bud, the minute bile flows there is no SIBO.

now think. how the hell is your bile going to flow. if you have retinoic acid inside of you. It won't it is suppressed.

Do you know how many times, and what we did for SIBO , tons of protocols, garlic oreganos. this and that. probiotics.

Just read the forums, of SIBO people. and now look at how many of them relapse. i would say 99%

xifaxan, this and that. I tried it all. and I ran it all.


Why don't you follow what Orion is doing, why are you spinning the wheels.


Electrolytes protocol covers everything a person would need to restore from bile acid inhibition.

Like phospholipds, which you are not getting now. how is your body going to regulate itself without phospholipids


as an example for you . lets say you are missing inositol triphosphate. since your bile is not working.

inositol triphosphate is what controls calcium entry into the cell.


So when the body wants calcium what does it do? it increases estrogen, which increases prolactin, which retains calcium from the gut.

and now. you need inositol triphosphate to put it into the cell.

If you dont have it. then you just stuck with high estro and high prolactin, and high noradrenaline, since noradrenaline will try to activate phospholipase C to get to inositol, but there is no inositol in the membranes.

and this concerns all hormones, which signal thru all different phospholipids like this.

SIBO needs to be taken care off not to cause oxidative stress on top what you already have.


I was wondering if a person can do liver flushes with MCT oil. I am not sure if this will work. but I think it could be the best treatment for SIBO especially if there is mallasezia restricta.

and afterwards, you need to get poop transplant from a healthy child. since microbiome is not 10-or 20 strains.

it is 10000s of strains there. I know this part is really hard.

but when people used antibiotics, they kill all the bacteria even in their appendix.

So it is best to repopulate it with poop transplant.
