Wow, a lot of information to digest. I have to reread it again carefully and want to discuss it with my doctor.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to explain the differences and similarities.

I do keep a log of everything I eat, amount, date, time. I also track my bowel movements so I know what foods work and those that produce a problem. The working ones, though, don’t produce weight gain. Mayo is working on this with me. The next test is. Breath test, not sure exactly what they are looking for. Maybe an answer .

The breath test is used as part of a gastrointestinal work-up to determine if you have a co-morbidity causing failure to gain weight. The breath test is used to look for other causes such as lactose intolerance, small intestine bacterial overload (SIBO), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It measures the hydrogen gas you exhale. There are variations of the test that measure the digestion of different sugars. The information is used to determine the causative pathology and the appropriate treatment.
