Hi all, Wondering if anyone else with hypo/hashis has been diagnosed with SIBO? I’ve started Rifaximin today for a SIBO diagnosis (private, of course, my NHS GP said “what’s SIBO” when I took the test result to her).

I saw one website say diet can cause SIBO, however most suggest diet (such as low FODMAP) is a symptom management thing and not a potential cause. So can diet cause SIBO? Because I do enjoy sugary foods, so if this can cause SIBO, seems like the most likely explanation...

Phoned GP to ask about sibo test to be told not available on nhs. He's hopefully getting a referral to gastroenterology. Sibo seems highly likely in everything we've read compared to his symptoms so we'd like to get him tested. Do we need a referral to get a private test?

hi I have had SIBO/IBS for years now. In. Recent months I’m seeing incomplete bowel feeling as do decent amount of poop but at the end there is always something leftover. Anyone who’s been through this ?

Anyone got any experience with SIBO and hydrogen sulphide gas (probably more people in US) as there is a test for it there.

Does SIBO causes fevers or is that an unrelated symptom? I had low grade fevers (up to 38.4C) for about a year coinciding with food allergy symptoms. Never found out the cause and i've been discharged now.

I asked her about SIBO and she told me it didn't exist. Unhelpful! So, I did private testing and sure enough - positive for SIBO. This explains some of the symptoms, but I'm sure it's more complicated than that.

We know that 67% of PwP have insulin resistance and a high % have leaky gut and SIBO. So: Refilling the gut with probiotics should help repair the gut lining and reduce the presence of harmful bacteria. Anyone tried it? Does it conflict with the no-dairy recommendation somehow?

Is there a benefit from Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for people with MCAS, IBS-C, SIBO, and SIFO? Answered by Dr. Leonard Weinstock M.D. https://youtu.be/7u1pKACOk_Y

My professor has long suspected that I also had sibo. I had a hydrogen breath test which was negative but I also had a small bowel aspiration which was positive for sibo. so I had a week course of antibiotics. I think I saw a couple of days of improvement but now I'm back to same.

I was wondering if my IBS is actually a sign of SIBO and what can be done to get rid of SIBO?

Since being diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, Coeliac and SIBO they were steadily going up - I got my ferritin from 2 to 75, but in the last year it’s gone down to 39. My B12 is at 318 and was almost 500 a year ago. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this and how to get my levels up?

Or SIBO. Of course, the pain has previously been dismissed as being related to endo because of "proximity" - apparently pain in the upper abdomen can't be related to a disease that can literally infiltrate any part of the body!

6-Are there any recent developments regarding SIBO, especially related to methane?
