SIBO, Meato, I finally feel better!!!!

First, thank you so very much Dr. Berg for dedicating yourself to helping people who are suffering. I will be 60 in October. I'm tall and slim; adrenal body type. I do not have weight problems except bloating. I have been pretty healthy most of my adult life, I don't take pharmaceuticals, and I don't go to doctors, ever. I'm an herbalist so I just figure stuff out myself... mostly! And I use the amazing information online. I moved from Buffalo NY to Florida in Spring 2014 to care for my mother whose brain damage from a stroke had caused increasingly bad dementia. She had microbleeds in her brain and also was prone to head injuries. She has been with God for over two years now and I still get very upset when I think about the fear I lived in for four years; she was always falling! I won't go into details but you can't even imagine it. It was so stressful I thought I would get a heart attack and die. I aged 15 years in 4 years. Needless to say, my gut problems escalated: acid reflux, belching etc. I tried to get her off carbs, which was impossible for a number of reasons. And I was so overwhelmed and stressed I spiraled out and ate whatever. My self care went down the tubes. Eventually when Mom left her mortal body two years ago I tried really hard to fix this and get some recovery. I prefer a vegetarian diet in the philosophical sense, but I kept getting sicker. Ask my friends, I'm famous for trying different diets, including raw and high fruit; no one can ever guess what the hell I'm eating and not eating! Diarrhea became a normal thing. About five weeks ago I started a ketogenic diet when I was having trouble recovering from the Controllavirus, but I'd been feeling so bad for so long the virus was really just a wake up call. I've been watching Dr. Berg for a long time but I finally said, "I'm gonna do this healthy keto thing!" But I still felt like crap and after three weeks. I called Dr. Berg's Keto consultant line. Christy got a handle on my issues quickly and suggested Carnivore so that I would stop feeding the SIBO with fiber. I have been on "Meato" now for six days and I'm a new person. I've added Dr. Berg's wheatgrass juice powder, electrolytes, and also cod liver oil. Taking monolaurin and colloidal silver to help kill gut bacteria, and betaine hydrochloride, and also ivermectin for parasites. I am a natural intermittent faster so I'm continuing with 1-2 meals a day. I think I will do the full 90 days on meato, my gut needs a long rest! I also stopped dairy as that tends to be a problem for me. I love cheese so, wah, but I can do this! As of yesterday I was up and running! Fatigue gone! I've been so low on energy for so long that to have actual energy was beyond exciting. I was running around like a puppy all day. My heat tolerance is much better. I have steady energy all day and though my gut still gurgles and I have a ways to go, I am beyond thrilled. I'm not to the "after" stage yet and since it is not a weight thing I'm not sure a before and after photo would be instructive, but just to illustrate what stress and carbs can do, I will attach photos from 2014 when I first moved to Florida, and another from a few years later. My hair was colored in the first photo but still. Let it be a message that stress is a killer. And Mom probably died like that to show me exactly what can happen to a carb addict. She would do that. To save me. Thanks again, Dr. B. I'll do an update when I graduate to keto or maybe a blog - this is the most amazing healing I've ever experienced and I have tried a lot of diets - Many blessings to you all. Cheli
