Probiotics for SIBO?

A low fodmap diet is the most difficult diet ever. But you can purchase fodzyme from Monash university in Australia and put it on your food. Doesn't work on polyols but still not bad. I did this for six months along with Atrantil and megaspore biotics. Watch probiotics. Some are worse for SIBO. I have methane, the worst, and my score was 71. After six months of fodzyme and those supplements my score dropped to 54 only so I took the xifaxin. I'm on 2nd round. SIBO is very difficult to get rid of. Now I've added kirkman biofilm defense because SIBO warriors build protective shields. They are insane bacteria that fight to kill you.

I should mention that the antibiotics i use is best for methane sibo and
the other one is best for hydrogen

Sorry, I meant to say the anti biofilm is best for methane, not antibiotics

I have excessive hydrogen SIBO. I took one round of xifaxin and it helped a little but won't take anymore because I've had a lot of antibiotics in my life.
The atrantil has helped my bowel movements along with FC-Cidal and Dysbiocide by Biotic Research and I'm feeling better with my sensitive gut.
But I am still very bloated for the last 4 months. I'm working with a GI doctor and a naturopath. I'm 78 yrs old active woman - but how do I get rid of this bloating. My naturopath suggested I stop the atrantil but I don't think I can or I will be constipated.

Yeah, I am on a restricted diet like you are, but I’m not taking any antibiotics. I do take Atrantil THREE TIMES A DAY
I don’t do any dairy. I do almond milk and almond milk yogurt. Lots of fish and chicken, rare meat meaning I hardly ever eat it. I have an enema every day and my stool is quite Soft. Unfortunately, I’m getting a lot of bloat and I’m trying to eliminate as much solid food at night and at lunchtime as I can. Any suggestions? I should tell you I’m on a low FOD map diet in addition to what I’ve told you above. I am also using FODZYME On the foods that need it. I use the Monash application all the time. Thanks for your help
