Hi - 3/4 tsp isn't likely to do much for you, it's still a very low dose that will just get your gut used to more fiber. In general, constipation takes about 2-5 tablespoons total per day to resolve, but you are right to start with just 1/2 teaspoon twice daily. You start low, increase gradually, and keep gradually increasing until constipation resolves.
If you feel bloated, increase your dose more slowly and gradually.
The prebiotic effect should help with SIBO, as it will naturally encourage the growth of healthy gut bacteria, which in turn keeps the bad bacteria in check.
