SIBO and Rapid Gastric Emptying or Dumping Syndrome

I'm just following these this thread to learn, and find it very interesting to not have H pylori from endoscopy biopsy yet have it in the stool (I assume it shouldn't be there). I know c. diff causes diarrhea (I am told), did the h. pylori cause that problem? What is gastric dumping (I'm kind of assuming emptying stomach contents too quickly? Is this something a person feel symptomatically?
In general, in listening to a lot of stories, it seems the GI world is still in it's infancy as far as diagnosing and treating most chronic problems people have.

Gastric dumping is diagnosed by a gastric emptying study where you eat a egg with radioactive properties and toast and they do a ultrasound over the course of 2-4 hours. It diagnoses slow emptying too.
The doctors thought I had slow emptying so it was a surprise as I don’t have bypass surgery. The symptoms are terrible.. I get dizzy and lightheaded after eating and have to lay flat after meals. Nausea and burping, blood sugar drops(using ascarbose and not diabetic either).
I agree that there is much to research and learn to help all of the complicated cases we read about.
I am going to Mayo 3/17 to see a motility Clinic doctor and cannot wait to get help!

I had h.pylori in my intestines. The endoscopy biopsy wasn't taken in the intestines. Yes, I had bad diarrhea. I was told the stool test is best for both c.dif and h.pylori.
