Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO)

I have been all over this forum after doctors told me I had this or that. I was starting to think I was crazy. Then one of my tests showed gastroparesis. Now my new gastro from down state has ruled out everything but now she has zeroed in on SIBO as well as BAM.

Between these two things my symptom list is long. One of my more annoying symptoms is this dang inner vibration that seems to be my stomach not working properly. My hair falls out, I have burning diarrhea then constipation. The Vagus nerve gets irritated setting off anxiety. Weird sweating episodes, light headedness, wright loss, dry skin. Insomnia and incredible fatigue. Low b12, low vitamin D. However they can't figure out my high calcium.

It has been absolutely awful. Doc should be prescribing antibiotics this coming week.

@bumble81, I'm so glad that you and your doctor finally got things figured out as you said, and that you have a diagnosis of SIBO that is possible causing bile acid malabsorption (BAM).

@bumble81, you mentioned that you'll be prescribed antibiotics. When will you start and for how long? Did your doctor talk to you about pro-biotics?
