Should also mention the breath test involves drinking a large glass of fructose before they do the breath test. So, you wouldn't have to have gone off your diet.... I'd like to think fm is curable, but have my doubts since it is caused by injury to the lining of the intestine. Mine has not improved; still need to watch what I eat. Good luck.

Thank you all for this valuable information. The Mayo gastroenterologist did do a hydrogen breath test twice and confirmed SIBO both times. There was no mention of a fructose or lactose intolerance hydrogen breath test. There was no referral to a nutritionist either, only a recommendation to try pelvic therapy, which has been nonproductive after months of therapy.

I am enjoying eating what I can without experiencing diarrhea. Will continue to work with the nutritionist and consider a breath test if she or the physician suggest it. Not sure whether I will ever be able to eat like I used to. But I am so thankful that I can eat food without the food hurting my gut. I was in very bad shape just two months ago.
