I'd love to hear about any non surgical treatment for SIBO. I've been hospitalized for it 4 times this year already. I hope to try a PT approach at a clinic called Clear Passage this summer. Thanks. Ginny
When I was first diagnosed and very very ill, I got a lot of advice from the carbohydrate specific diet. See if they will allow the link:

Have not heard of Iberogast, but I saw adds for it on line. I am on a low residue diet because of the constant obstructions. Surgeons here won't operate unless the obstruction is complete, because they say that the surgery causes more adhesions. They also say that there is no medical data supporting the effect of fiber on obstructions, but it makes sense to me. Also the GI doc, NP and Dietians all say I need to avoid almost all fiber. Of course the last time I ended up in hospital I had been on less than 8gm. of fiber a day for 6 weeks, so..... Who knows? The physical therapy I plan to have is done in a clinic called Clear Passage. Other than sitting here waiting to start the awful pain and vomiting again, this is really my only option. If it helps I'll post. Good luck to everyone.
Found it on Amazon. Thinking of trying it
No, I have not heard of Iberogast. I favor natural treatments whenever possible. I would've explored my options if my life hadn't been at risk. I'm going to check it out for future reference though.
