Oregano oil im not sure did anything.

Allicin increased appetite and bowel movements but didn’t help the bloating.

Berberine made me nauseous

Important

This is one person's reported experience aggregated by GutPattern, not clinical advice, a treatment protocol, or a diagnosis. What helped one contributor can do nothing — or harm — for someone with a different underlying cause. Sudden, severe, bloody, feverish, or worsening symptoms belong with medical care. Always discuss care decisions with a qualified clinician.
