For a Cheaper/Longer Treatment of Methane SIBO
After the six worst months of my life, I diagnosed myself with Methane SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) using the 3hr Lactulose breathe test. You normally have to obtain a healthcare professionals order to get this test, but I used sibotest.com out of Australia and the result changed my life. I wouldn't recommend the cheaper 60min glucose hydrogen tests you can get elsewhere. For treatment I used the 30 Day protocol of Metagenics Candibactin-BR & AR, Allimed 450mg Allicin, and Klaire Labs - InterFase Plus. This was a lot cheaper than the standard antibiotics and let me continue to avoid the pricey game of seeing a healthcare professional. I read that methane SIBO is more problematic to get rid of but treatment was successful. Now even with Rifaximin antibiotic treatment, my research showed that almost half of people have a recurrence within a year, so a prokinetic is an absolute. I've been using Iberogast for that for over 14 months now with no ill effects and am still completely symptom free.
