Generally speaking SIBO is treated with antibiotics. And to the best of my knowledge it is never eradicated. It requires long term antibiotic treatment which has serious risks.

However, there appears to be a school of thought that the food supply to the SIBO bugs could be things like fructose, lactose, glactose and IF. They produce gases and short chained fatty acids from these foods that stimulate the gut. If you can control the food supply you can control the bug population and hence manage SIBO. I prefer this option
