Yes, and I've spoken about this in my case on several occasions. I suspect a host of problems with my gut, and as we know things like SIBO and intestinal permeability, dysbiosis and all that go hand in hand more often than not.
I am starting a course of herbal antibiotics and antifungals and then a custom probiotic blend soon thereafter. Omega 3/cod liver oil and other supplements will soon follow. I have a whole regimen that I came up with after much research, and I am hoping it works. Vitamin D has been the great surprise. I had no idea about its general importance in immunity and now intestinal health.
I'm not sure about your story, but hopefully healing your gut will help. Diet has made a huge difference for me, ketogenic paleo, very low sugar and carbs. And after many months on it, it seems I can more easily tolerate carbs and recently I've noticed I can pretty much eat anything I want (no gluten and alcohol) and won't have any or much of a reaction. But I'm not going to take any of it for granted and will go back and try even harder, since diet alone can't heal the gut, but it does help with symptoms. It's more of a necessary rather than a sufficient condition.

So far I'm taking omega3 and vitamin d and in the process of reducing my sugar consumption. I feel the diet has made me feel a little better.
