I am a PMR patient who was on steroids that inflamed my gut. Started acid reducers recommended by physician.
Months later they didn’t seem to help. Started severe symptoms of fatigue, nausea, gas, weight loss, and messy stool. Blood tests and stool tests showed nothing wrong. Ct scan identified moderate to severe stenosis of the peripheral celiac artery, which can cause Sibo.
Seeing a vascular doctor in August to see what can be done. I haven’t been getting nutrients from what I was eating so that explains the nausea, fatigue, and weight loss. Hopefully he has a fix for this problem and I have abandoned all acid reducers and trying to maintain a diet in accordance with sibo.
Sibo is a symptom of a bigger problem. Hope I can kick it!

Best to you if that is cause of your SIBO.
SIBO has many causes.
Some causes that are usually very common like mine.
If your peripheral artery is not the cause, ask to be tested for gut
parasites, fungus, a breath test for H. pylori and gases like methane, and
if you have an issue with gluten and dairy products. And speak with a
nutritionist knowledgeable about SIBO and foods that you need to omit at
least for a period of time until your gut microbiome is healthy again. My
doctor had a nutritionist on her staff and her help was so valuable. I
learned I was gluten intolerant and sensitive to dairy. Also too much
sugar in your diet is not good as it feeds bacteria.
After going gluten free, dairy free and sugar free (started using stevia
for some sweetness to my coffee), I started feeling so much better.
Getting back to health is a definite journey. I truly wish the best.
