The symptoms you are describing sound very much like SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth). I was diagnosed with it back in 2018 after having symptoms for 4 years. Ask your doctor to test you for it (most common test is a breath test).

How. It very well could be. About 2 years ago, I sent for my own SIBO breath test. Results were negative. However, my G.I. doc then said that these tests are "often" false negatives, and he proceeded to treat me with xofaxin I believe. Couldn't tolerate the Rx. Anyhow since then, I have read that SIBO comes and goes and that to be treated every time is dangerous as we know. So I have opted for the latter.
