SIBO
Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2020 4:44 pm
Hello,
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO):
Are all NHS gastroenterologists familiar with treating SIBO with the recommended antibiotics? I've only found a few gastroenterologists that list SIBO as a specialist interest. I know it's not a well known condition. I'm nervous to see any gastroenterologist, in case they don't know how to treat it. My previous recognised (private) test came out positive for SIBO.
I still feel itchy after eating, which is related to my SIBO / digestion, despite some improvements in my gut with antibiotics. It's not stand alone food intolerances or histamine, as it's all food, and I've tried antihistamines. Based on the assumption that it's related to my SIBO, do I just avoid the worst foods until they improve?
Thank you.
