@sikntired Thanks! Yes, while in the past I steered clear of AI, now I am less leery of it because of the new feature of citations with links to sources. And yes to a multi-pronged approach to dealing SIBO, etc. Yes to doctors and diagnostic tests, as the latter provides useful information. Yes to dealing with issues in a holistic way (e.g., nutrition, medications, supplements, pelvic floor therapy, bowel training, biofeedback, hypnosis) and experimentation. Yes to consulting patient forums like this one for ideas and comparing notes. I'd also like to say that at some point maybe one needs to accept that one might never be "cured." My goal at this point is a normal life, where I don't have to structure every aspect of my life around this thing. After 2 years, I've mostly achieved that. Another thing I notice in these forums is that many people don't pay enough attention to the damage that SIBO might have done to your gut lining. In my case, after I did have an endoscopy I was diagnosed with ASID (acquired sucrase-isomaltase deficiency) I went on the special ASID/CSID diet and it made a decisive difference. It is NOT the same as FODMAP and if you have ASID, FODMAP won't help you. Your gut literally can't properly digest lots of foods permitted on FODMAP, though there is some crossover.
