If anxiety and panic are main symptoms from SIBO please share your story!
Backstory: I hesitate to say anxiety because it’s not anxiety. It’s constant fight or flight, jitteriness, to full blown panic attacks from the time I wake up until I go to sleep everyday for the past two years. Besides the ever increasing food sensitivities (was down to chicken, pistachios, and walnuts) this has been my worst symptom of SIBO bar none.
I’m currently 7 days into an ED regimen and taking xifanan and nystatin along side it for suspected Hydrogen sulfide SIBO.
The question: If anxiety and panic were your main Sibo symptoms how long into treatment did it take to recover from it? Did you wake up feeling normal one day? Or what is a gradual thing?
I’m just looking for some light at the end of the tunnel because the die off has been pretty bad. Day 6 was by far the worst, but my anxiety symptoms have definitely ramped up since day 4 and have only intensified.
Even if you haven’t recovered what’s been your journey through this?
