Permanent SIBO due to removal of ileocecal valve

I had an encapsulated appendicitis which involved my ileocecal valve, small amounts of both the large/small intestines~all had to be removed. SIBO has become a chronic permanent condition for me, as bacteria has no barrier to block transference from the large intestine to the small intestines and back.
Most SIBO information out there seems to address the need for antibiotics, diet and ways to regain a healthy digestive tract~my
questions are to get answers for how to deal with a 'incurable' SIBO, in hopes to live a long and healthy life as possible.
I think I need a doctor who specializes in SIBO and/or a nutritionist who deals with SIBO issues. Thanks for your interest.

You are further down the road than me. Have you had success with the SIBO? What has helped? And anything about repair/replace the ileocecal valve? Thanks
