Re: This is what’s been working for me

Hi Anne,

I haven’t been retested for SIBO, it’s quite expensive in the UK as it wasn’t covered on the NHS and the testing takes several hours.

My signature is outdated, I’m almost 30 now. That just shows how long I’ve been coming in here, and how long I’ve been suffering from this problem

Re: This is what’s been working for me

5 year update. The dilute sodium hypochlorite rinse effectively managed my BB until a couple of months ago. Over 5 years in total. I guess the bacteria in my mouth finally became resistant to it. I am grateful that I had the chance to live a somewhat normal life for a period of time, as I know many ...

Did anyone ever attempt this?

Re: This is what’s been working for me

I’ve been scared to post this because I don’t want to jinx things, but I’d feel awful if I didn’t at least help someone. This is NOT a cure, it is merely a method of managing my BB enough to lead a semi normal life. I learnt about the chlorine bleach rinse over a year ago through this forum, and it...

Re: This is what’s been working for me

Hi Ricky, No I don’t drink coffee, I avoid sugar and dairy as I believe these are unhealthy anyway and they seem to contribute to BB. I use the neilmed sachets, I believe they contain salt and bicarbonate of soda. This is purely to stop it burning (its balanced to the salinity of your nasal passages)

Re: This is what’s been working for me

Hi Mariyan, Thanks for your reply, but with all due respect I have been suffering for years. I have tried all of the diets, all of the probiotics, all of the antibiotics. This is simply a management method which is working for me, and I will continue to use it as long as it gives me relief. I’m glad...

Re: This is what’s been working for me

Awesome, good luck! Don’t forget to floss, that’s really important.

And when you rinse your sinuses ensure you *snort* it down your throat and spit it out a few times to make sure no old mucus or bacteria are stuck up the top of your throat.

Re: Backyard Oral Microbiota Transplant

If I were to do this I would use a chlorine bleach rinse beforehand. Think about it this way - you want to give the new bacteria as much of a chance to survive as possible. Simply brushing your teeth does not get rid of the bad breath so, logically, it won’t get rid of the bacteria. I think you need...

Re: This is what’s been working for me

I know you said you are doing something similar to what I suggested, but have you followed the exact steps I listed? I really think it could make a difference, and I find it is only effective if I follow all of the steps and that the effectiveness increases over time. It took a week for me to be abl...

Re: This is what’s been working for me

Hey, sorry I should’ve been clearer. I meant when you use the bleach method, how long are you B.B. free? And have you found the bleach method becomes less effective over time?

I definitely will buy some pepto!

Re: This is what’s been working for me

Did it last for longer and it’s effectiveness has reduced? Or has it only ever made you BB free for a couple of hours?

Re: Last Resort Treatment [LONG POST]

You may well be right, in fact I hope you are! The only other thing I would add is that I had always read that antibiotics aren’t effective at curing accrue sinusitis as there is no blood in the sinuses to carry the antibiotics to them. Do you think a flip turn sinus flush containing antibiotics wou...

Re: Last Resort Treatment [LONG POST]

I know how desperate you feel right now, but I need to tell you that I did something similar and it didn’t work for me. I would hate for you to go through the same disappointment that I did. I went on a course of metronidazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin for 2 weeks. I also used the BLISK12 prob...

Re: A potential cure (Oral Microbiota Transplant)

I spoke with the scientist at the University Of Washington the other day who advised me that they have applied for funding through a different organisation and are hopeful that will be approved as it is a small amount of money they’re asking for (compared to other trials) - £30k and they are also no...

Re: This is what’s been working for me

Thank you! I’ll definitely try the Pepto tablet you recommend.

How long do stay BB free when you follow your method? I think I get about 9 hours at the moment
