I'm very much aware Dr Pimental's research is not specific to SIBO/IMO and that his research is very comprehensive regarding GI ailments. Nonetheless, since I was speaking about "my" experience" I made reference to only that.
There is not indeed a "silver bullet" - if that was the case, I daresay he and many others would be a billionare. That said....
I'm very much aware/educated about the complexities of the microbiome - and that bacteria is neither good nor bad - and that SIBO is about their residence where they don't belong (small intestine). Hence the name "Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth".
Yes indeed I know I have SIBO -C (not just IMO) (ref the hydrogen, etc. you mentioned) - yes, Allicin for methane, and for sure I'm aware it's tough (been dealing with it for 5 years at least). In addition to Allicin, there are other antimicrobials (and Rx combos) that do work well - I've managed remission for months at a time. However...
...there are other variables that factor into the irradication of SIBO-C and as well, treatment approaches (which I mentioned in my response to "caroljmelville" below.

Looks like we've been down similar roads. My comment re "silver bullet" was metaphorical, since everyone's case is different. Perhaps by sharing experiences we can make some headway.
