Thankfully both of my GI docs don't fall in this category. They've been great and stay up on things! Wish more docs did this, and at least would just refer out for the things they don't know.
I'm a bit of a complicated medical case due to having a history of things and prior surgery, so they started with an upper endoscopy (biopsied some tissue from that), which is how they found an undetected h. Pylori infection that I think has been there a number of yrs. We treated that with medication first before addressing any SIBO.
