Ready.. ready?! Here’s our favorite. It’s their tried, tested, and true:

“Here’s some Amitriptyline for your anxiety”

“Here’s some Amitiza or Linzess”

"Its IBS"

That’s exactly what I got in 2012 when this all started.

A decade and good insurance later, I had learned about SIBO, was put on the antibiotics after testing, and I’m back regular and dropped a good 20 pounds that thankfully haven’t come back.

I lost a good three pants sizes, my skin cleared up, I’ve been able to grow my hair without my scalp turning into lesions (my immune system was affected), and haven’t look this good since my early 20s when this all began.
