From what I know the SIBO is a breath test that can only be done in hospital as they make you breathe into a machine then drink a liquid with meds in then every 15mins you breathe into the machine this goes on for about 2 hours so I do not see how it can be done at home ….. what tests have you been looking at??

Never heard or seen any. I saw a gastroenterologist who ordered a colonoscopy and barium x ray tests on my large bowel. These are carried out as a day patient in a hospital. This indicates where or what disease you might or might not have.
