Hi! Definitely sounds like SIBO. Get to a GI that can order you a breath test kit like trio smart. You fast then drink lactulose and then breathe in little bags for three hours. It will tell you if you have Sibo. There are three kinds - hydrogen, methane and hydrogen sulfide(?). If positive, you can take XIFAXAN. it is an antibiotic specifically for the small intestine to kill bacteria overgrowth. There are additional treatments based on the type of Sibo. I had hydrogen and took the Xifaxan. It helped but the bad news is that Sibo returns - the meds are a bandaid not a fix. Sibo is like ibs - a symptom. So you have to figure out where it comes from and definitely change your diet. For fodmap - try MONASH there is an app for your phone. I have been trying gluten free, dairy free and definitely stay away from any artificial sugars. Stay away from probiotics and prebiotics they feed Sibo and stop the beans. They turn into sugar and feed the Sibo. And if you don’t have Sibo then I hope you can find out what you do have! Hope this helps. Ps - I could go on. I hate Sibo ! Good luck 🙂

Why avoid Probiotics, please tell me wad it your GI. I have been given the idea that they help with good bacteria in the gut. I also suffer bloating, chronic gas but tested negative for Sibo here in UK. They not very good with help for these conditions just diagnose IBS c or d.
