I am a bit perplexed by your doctor's statement that SIBO can be diagnosed with stool ova and parasite test. I have a suspicion that this information is incorrect. During the chat with an expert at UNC the other night I asked Dr. Drossman an internationally recognized GI researcher at UNC what is now considered to be an acceptable test for SIBO now that lactulose breath test has been shown to be inaccurate. His response was the glucose breath test is reliable.

As Windchimes points out don't be surprised if the dietitian does know a lot about the role of soluble fiber or FODMAPs in the management of IBS. Generally speaking they know how to help normal individuals manage a healthy diet but frequently they know little about the management of IBS through diet. Good luck with you appointment and hopefully will have a knowledgeable dietitian.


From the reports on the board Lomotil seems to work.
