Then I would recommend you read his book - A New IBS Solution by Mark Pimentel. He pretty much believes that all IBS is caused by bacteria. I don't know about that but since you tested positive for SIBO it may work for you. I think the basis of the diet is actually very similar to the EFI diet by Heather. For example, he recommends eating white carbs because they're low-residue and thus bacteria can't feed on them, while Heather recommends them because they contain a lot of SF. Both suggest you cut out dairy, Pimentel recommends Lactaid but I think you can drink unsweetened almond milk instead. There are some differences (Pimentel is OK with eggs, Heather is OK with white sugar) but you can tweak them to fit you diet (just because he allows eggs doesn't mean you have to eat them).
I would google him, he has a website but I don't want to post links here since this is Heather's site.
