I tried a naturopathic dr/ chiropractor nothing covered by insurance first bust $500 out of pocket
Wanted me to buy 5 plus supplements non approved by FDA
Wanted me on this highly restrictive diet my IBS registered nurse & also registered dietician did not approve of such a restrictive diet. She felt once I went back to normal food symptoms would all return.
Ibguard, hypnotherapy, excersise, working with trained IBS dietician , helped me , xifian did not symptoms just came back which if you read the studies very predictable they will.
Also the studies say how many false positives there are in testing even at the hospital and really only a 5 % have SIBO is last study I read. Breath test at home are not accurate.

I’m thinking more “holistic” I feel like naturopathic doctors only help to a certain point. Instead of prescription meds, they give you supplements. Which is a lot of cases is needed, but not if you truly want to find the root cause & heal your gut. I feel as if it starts off with food. At this point I can’t even drink water without my stomach/gut burning. I think it might be something more then just SIBO. Today I start my Rifaximin 550mg 3x a day for 14 days. I’m praying it works.

Interesting>
I had an ND doc recommend 960 pills for me to take in one month-- 7 different types!
I walked away after dumping $500 like you.
Working with a dietician and considering the "elemental diet".
