Sibo treatment, long term success??

I have a somewhat rare genetic disease, AFAP, which dramatically increases my risk of colon cancer (100%). I had a subtotal colectomy and in removing my colon, they also removed my ileocecal valve which is why my SIBO is chronic. I tried all sorts of diets and for the past 4-5 years have been on a SIBO diet I found on the Cedars Sinai website (lots of good info there!) with some minor modifications. I can tolerate lactose free dairy which helps with my protein intake and I also have a B-12 shot every month because of malabsorption issues. I like to bake and converting recipes to GF isn’t difficult (I use monk fruit as a sweetener). Still trying to master the art of good GF bread and in the meantime order Franz GF bread which is the best I’ve found.

You have done really great work in finding what works for you! I certainly know that is not easy. I learned from an nutritionist that sourdough bread is ok to eat as it goes through fermentation, so that is one bread I eat since many restaurants have that option.
Best to you!
