Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO)

There are many pages online that purport to describe the symptoms of SIBO. One of the potential symptoms (I can report from my own research) that is missing is the feeling of lightheadedness about 2 hours after eating a meal. This is almost certainly the food being fermented by the mass of bacteria in the small intestine and the resulting d-lactic acid, and other products of fermentation including alcohol, circulating in the bloodstream and affecting the brain. I’m wondering how many of us have experienced this.
Another issue I’ve been looking at is the difference between SIBO and LEAKY GUT, in terms of symptoms. It may be the case that the latter has a greater/unique tendency to produce muscle soreness. Can anyone support this theory through experience?

Hi @eden, I moved your new message to this existing discussion about SIBO to better connect you with other members dealing with this condition, like @haighsue @elle1233 @gemmao @fiesty76 @mutter3 @jacque6977 @jamorris9 @astaingegerdm and others.

Eden, you report feeling lightheaded about 2 hours after eating a meal and wonder if others experienced this. You also ask about another issue - the difference between SIBO and LEAKY GUT, in terms of symptoms. "It may be the case that the latter has a greater/unique tendency to produce muscle soreness. Can anyone support this theory through experience?"

Can you elaborate a bit more?
