Give it a try and let's see what you've learned. You have to be careful with probiotics. Some aren't good for sibo like anything with lactobacillus. I use megaspore and phgg

Limit fiber intake as discussed above
- Recommend official small intestinal bacterial overgrowthe testing with glucose substrate
- If positive, recommend continuation of a low FODMAP diet with abx or herbal treatment
The patient is at risk for recurrent small intestinal bacterial overgrowth which could be contributing to her chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction .
- If recurrent small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, recommend cycling antibiotics (preferred rifaximin 550mg three times day) for the 1st week of each month or continuing the herbal supplements.

Pick one combination (this can be found in a supplement store or amazon.com):

Choice A: Candibactin-AR plus Candibactin BR
Dose: 2 tabs (for each preparation) twice a day x 8 wks [total of 4 pills twice a day]

OR

Choice B: Dysbiocide plus FC cidal
Dose: 2 tabs (for each preparation) twice a day x 8 wks [total of 4 pills twice a day]

The above were shown in clinical trials to be effective.

However, if you are not able to tolerate the above or if you are unable to find the above, try the following:

Gaia or Nature’s Way brand Oil of Oregano -1 capsule twice daily with meals
PLUS (choose one below):
2. Berberine [Thorne] 500 mg capsules, 3 capsules (1500 mg) twice daily for 8 weeks OR Oregon Grape root [Nature's Way] 500 mg capsules, three capsules (1500 mg) twice a day with meals.

Note that Oil of Oregano by itself would not be effective.

For any of the preparations above:
Add Dandelion root tea daily (such as brand Traditional Medicinals). This can help move your gut and can help stimulate bile which has some antimicrobial effect.
