▲ 12 r/SIBO

S. boulardii ruined my life.

I had been taking *S. boulardii* intermittently for diarrhea; I had another bout starting July 8th and took one capsule daily until July 10th. On the evening of July 10th, while eating, I felt a sensation like a heavy stone in my abdomen. At first, I thought it would pass, but for about 40 days now, I have been suffering from a bulging swelling above my navel (present even in the morning on an empty stomach), excessive gas, an inability to have a bowel movement even when straining (I have been using Macrogol for 40 days), and extreme intestinal sluggishness. I took 1200 mg of Rifaximin, Kreon, and Rabeprazole for two weeks, but the problem was absolutely not resolved. I used to be an active person who exercised, but now I have reached the point of considering suicide; please help me.
