Confused about methane SIBO diagnosis + treatment plan

Like you I have methane dominant SIBO but have had horrific diarrhea... Have gotten very little help from the medical world. Did a round of Xyfaxin which was terrible. I couldn't digest anything and lost 15 lbs in the two weeks I was on it. The only thing that has helped me is the FODMAP diet, and it has really helped. I have not had any diarrhea for at least 6 weeks.
Have you done a calprotectin test? It measures the amount of inflamation of your intestines and can help know just how affected one is...

@hallward Im so nervous to start Xifaxan, Neomycin, and Nystatin because I have heard so many people get so incredibly sick from it. Antibiotics are already hard on women's bodies, so I don't need to feel worse than I already do. I have never heard of a calprotectin test, so I will look into it. Have you done your SIBO test again since eating on low FODMAP? If so, has did your results come back better?
