Colleen, could you comment on SIBO as a diagnosis for GI issues. I have only found information on treating SIBO, etc. by online clinics. I don't know whether to trust them and payment is all out of pocket. Thank you.

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when there is an abnormal increase in the overall bacterial population in the small intestine — particularly types of bacteria not commonly found in that part of the digestive tract. Read more from Mayo Clinic:

Lucy, have you been diagnosed with SIBO? Are you lactose intolerant?
