Thanks for the links and advice.

I read up and have questions the reading brought to mind perhaps you or somebody can answer one thanks.

1) I took the Hydrogen breathe test which came back positive, is this the SIBO test? Does this mean I have SIBO, and can I have SIBO and IBS, and if so is there a way to proove it?

2) What diet should I go on? I have been on Heather's diet for a year, and have noticed a moderate, but by no means magnifcent change, do I need an all liquid diet? I am IBS c with bloating, trapped gas, when I stopped taking the probiotic I also had d as well.

3) How long do you take the medication, can it be daily or just for a short while?

4) What is the timeframe for treatement, how likely is it to produce, and once done can you eat before IBS appeared?

5) I also tested positive for Lactose intolerance, how does this relate to SIBO, and does this mean if the bacteria is treated I can once again consume it?

6) While I am on medication or after should I be on a probiotic?

7) How high a dose is needed for the medication?

8) I did not see anything written on SIBO causing it to be difficult to have fats, is this true?

9) How do you get this bacterial overgrowth?
