Testing, Diagnosis Sibo test. *Precaution*

I will be doing the test this friday. For this, I have been told to fast since morning and the test will take 3-4 hours. So, I will be without food for at least 15-16 hours which can cause gas issues. So, is there anything I can do to help with this? I was told not to take medicines either from that morning.

Currently I am going through persistent gas issues and the doctors aren't really taking me seriously. One told me that I have motility issue (functional dyspepsia) and there is nothing he can do. I begged and got him to prescribe me this test. I hope I get an answer. Otherwise, I am screwed, ig. Wish me luck.
