Sounds like you are being proactive with your self-care. Sorry to hear about your SIBO, and yes, your rice and pasta (and dairy ) could be contributing to your problem. Anything that slows gut motility like highly processed foods and high-fat dairy might not be the best foods for you. Taking probiotics might help, although, the studies done are not conclusive about this. I take one daily anyway, along with Omega-3's and turmeric. Good luck to you!
