I think I might have SIBO as well. I’ve been doing some research for it, and it looks like oil of oregano is as effective as antibiotics, and in some cases more effective. Have you ever tried that? I haven’t been diagnosed with it officially, but I’m almost positive that’s what I have. Apparently the oil is quite strong and you’re supposed to be under a doctor’s care when you use it and make sure you get the right kind of course, but it sounds intriguing to me. Good luck.

I have this & am taking a new drug called Creon that has really helped me. However, it is very expensive, so had to apply for assistance from Angie , which I got. Really helps.

You can ask your GI doc to order a hydrogen breath test to diagnose SIBO. There are 3 different types (I believe) and the test can differentiate them. This is how I was diagnosed. I am having a hard time getting past SIBO tho. I am currently on long term antibiotics though, which I know you don’t want to have to take.
