Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO)

I have read different articles about this and people seem to disagree on having fruit or not. When I was told it was candida overgrowth I was told to eat fruit in the morning and then lots of veggies and a protein the rest of the day. I was also on a lot of different supplements at that time. Things did begin to get better but every now and again I would eat things that set me back. Things are better but not all normal. I still get gas and bloat every day after lunch and have wondered if it's the fruit. My brother lives with me and has a lot of the same symptoms and he asked his doc about all this. They don't recognize such a thing as candida overgrowth or mold sickness. It's very frustrating.

I had a fructose breath test and lactose breath test before having Linx surgery. They were both negative. After surgery I was still unable to get off my PPI's finally I cut out fruit and within in 2 days all acid and gas went away!! Never took another PPI. Also A1C dropped from 6.2 to 5.7, something I could never get down. Once I realized that anything with seeds is a fruit, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc my A1c went to 5.4, normal! But also no sugar or sugar products, have to be careful here because there are many names for sugar. After cheating over the holidays I was sick with horrible stomach problems for several months but back to normal now, but gained weight I can't get off! never had that problem! Yes doctors think fruit is the holy grail but 30% of the population has a fructose intolerance or malabsorption and don't know it! Also I have to make sure the fiber content from foods is low, fruits and fibers stay in the upper intestine and basically rot causing gas, pain, and acid and take several days to digest. I eat protein and vegetables and have completely normal bowel movements daily!
