SIBO is a breath test. Unfortunately, the test has a high rate of false positive results. Over the past few years there have posting from people who have had the test, taken the antibiotics and not had any relief. The clinical evidence shows that only about 4% of IBS individuals have SIBO and of those only 7-12% have temporary relief from antibiotic treatment.
