Intermittent fecal/sulfur breath odor

I have had 3 scopes and I assume if I have h pylori, that is where they would have seen it.
No sibo test. I've thought about ordering an at home test. I haven't seen a gastroenterologist in years. I just got so frustrated with them and the whole process. The final straw was a doctor telling me she didn't care when I tried to tell her about this problem. Totally shut me down. She was only interested in setting up the scope procedure. My problem didn't fall into the normal acid reflux spectrum so she didn't even want to talk about it.

You would need to take the breath test to find H. Plylori. The scope probably wouldn’t find it. It measures gases, hydrogen and methane, I believe. You will have to blow into a bag, then drink a liquid, wait 15 minutes, and blow in the bag again. For SIBO, you need to take a breath test as well. I didn’t even have most of the symptoms of H. Plylori. I would get occasional abdomen pain, and the fart odor coming from my mouth. If it wasn’t for the odor, I could tolerate the occasional pain.
