Foods don't change how I feel. What I eat doesn't make my symptoms worse or better. I am on a low fiber diet because of my Short Bowel Syndrome. Doctors have said that I don't have SIBO.
I don't have bloating, gas,indigestion, acid reflux or heartburn. I was on a clear liquid diet for 3 weeks and still had constant abdominal pain. Was eating small easy digestible foods and I still have constant abdominal pain. I don't eat much when I eat and I still have constant abdominal pain. Only medication I am on is my seizure medicine and that isn't the problem.

@tjanet did you check your seizure medicine for lactose? Also, I had one gastro doc say I didn't have SIBO and another say I did and put me on the Xifaxin, which resolved the SIBO. But it returns periodically. If you've covered this, then I suggest trying an MFR therapist to see if they find any muscle groups moving as a unit, or a neurologist who does Botox and can pinpoint a muscle group to "relax" the constant pain or a good acupuncturist who can pinpoint the location and treat. I had some amazing work done when I had abdominal pain which wouldn't subside. They worked on stuff having to do with the spleen (they said). I like going to the acupuncture colleges where you can get expert care and it's cheap!
