Diagnosed with IBS…could it really be that?

Hi,
If I were in your situation I would ask for a breath test for SIBO, it too can mimic the same symptoms of IBS. The breath test is a simple test that can be done as at outpatient. It would nice to rule out SIB0.

I would also research the symptoms of LPR, it to can mimic IBS.

It is important, treatment wise, to tule out Gerd, LPR, and SIBO before treating IBS….and it will save you lots of money on medications if you can isolate the one you actually have. Believe me, I know.

Good luck,
Randy

Hi,
I have already done this and do have SIBO regularly because of the ANS. Because of the ANS and IBS I slip into SIBO state often producing methane. I have had all tests known and all medication thought to help with a clean result and no help with medications. You can't medicate for what is unknown and can't be seen other than the findings of an autopsy, and that is a little to late! That what IBS is, unknown, yet to be discovered.
Cheers
