I'm not sure if this is where I should post this question, but here goes. Has anyone read Dr. Pimentel's book that talks about IBS in some cases being caused by an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine? There is information on his research in the "IBS research library" on this site. His dietary advice fits somewhat with Heather's. . . but his initial approach involves breath testing & antibiotics. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the lactulose breath test/antibiotics that he recommends. Thanks!
