Does anyone have EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency)?

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.

I have a zoom appointment with a naturopathic doctor tomorrow, so I’ll ask him about that. I can’t believe my regular doctor didn’t order that for me. Yeah, I wouldn’t be able to take long-term antibiotics because I always become allergic to them, but I have read there are herbal remedies that are almost as effective. I hope so. It sounds like it’s a difficult thing to get rid of. I hope you get some relief! Thanks so much for the info.
