Small intestine Bacterial Overgrowth
Anyone suffer from this condition? Excessive gas. Some have cramps. Bloating.
I just have the excessive gas. Did you take the Hydrogen Breath test? Did you use antibiotics? Or just probiotics?
Or both? Some say that antibiotics work - but the gas returns when they stop the antibiotics. Thanks for any suggestions.

oh yes, do i ever have it. will respond later, but in the meantime there are several related forums on it and the lowFODMAP diet, which saved me.
A couple of months of doxycycline cleared it up for me, and it didn't come back. My doctor didn't bother with the breath test.
My wife was having "chest pains" that no doctor could figure out. Finally, she had a breath test and she was off the charts. She tries to be gluten free, (but more "light") and it has made a world of difference. SIBO gets missed, IMHO, by way too many doctors.
