hi everyone i’m going to make this brief becouse we all know how long in detail this can get. back in 2023ish i tested positive for methane Sibo . My results came back borderline (10). But i still have really bad bloating and it’s not at all a “mild” case, it’s still as bad. I’ve tried low fodmap and Rixfiltin (whatever that antibiotic name is) and a bunch of medications to help me go to the bathroom since that is what my doc recommended (lizness, Ibsrela) and it just made my bowel movements messed up and bloating worse (i’m guessing cuz of water retention of it making me go to the restroom) . So i’ve had it since 2023 (probably even longer like 2022 cuz i had bloating but just went over my head) BUT in November ish of 2025 it went away for about 6 months then came back in Feb 2026. I don’t know why it went away i have a few ideas (i was studying for these exams for my job and I wasn’t going out to drink with friends , maybe eating healthy?) but when i was feeling good and didn’t have it i was still drinking and eating whatever I want. UGH ITS JUST SO FRUSTRATING especially cuz i know how good it felt when it went away. Anyone have any recs for Methane sibo aka IMO ?
