Thank you. Because my CA 19 numbers are heading down, I feel as though it might be SIBO. However my onco won’t order the test. Have to get into a GI Dr. and that will take a month of very little nutrition!

Can you ask the onco for a high-priority referral to both the GI doc and the CSO dietitian?

If the GI could at least order the GI test "remotely," you could get it done first and have that result/data in hand by the time a consultation actually takes place. Better than waiting until the consultation and starting everything serially from there. If there's anything abnormal or alarming in the test result, the GI could expedite your consultation or another appropriate referral.
