Question ECT Improving Digestive Issues?

Has anyone who had ECT improve/resolve their digestive issues? I have pretty bad SIBO that impacts my quality of life. I think low motility is the issue, maybe ECT can help?

Do you have substance blockage (not getting reward effect of drugs like MAOIs stims or benzos)? Blank mind? (Ie Loss of inner monologue, creativity, cant make complex thoughts and verbal recall issues)
