I hope so because I am going through this now. I am on my second course of Flagyl and taking probiotics. I am undergoing a CT scan of lower GI track in two weeks, and then a colonoscopy if I continue to have symptoms. The GI doctor said that other causes for my problems may be ulcerative colitis, or microscopio colitis. I am not sure they know yet. We have to not give up and keep looking for answers.
I thought I posted a reply but it did not go through. Yes, to your question, but it is a process of trial and error. My GI doctor thinks I have SEBO and is treating me for that but I don’t think he knows for sure. They are treating symptoms. My next steps are CT scan of gut and possible colonoscopy. It is a long process to get answers and it is frustrating and isolating. I recently found blood in my stool which the doctor said could be the inflammation and diarrhea I have suffered for twelve weeks, I don’t have anemia at this point. I try to keep a positive attitude but often feel discouraged. Thanks to everyone for posting here and your support.
The VSL probiotics are a good place to start. I purchased it from Hannaford Supermarket’s Pharmacy. You have to ask the pharmacist for it as it is kept in a cooler.
