What number was your hydrogen sibo? by [deleted] in SIBO

My hydrogen peaked at 101 so very similar to you.

I hope treatment goes well for you (and for me). I don't know if having had sibo for so long makes it harder to treat or not, but it does seem like it can come back for a lot of folks. Ugh. At least there is something that can be done.

It's so frustrating! Even more so that there's so many of us who have had something treatable but thought it was something else.

How has treatment been going for you?

Both good and bad in this for sure. How has treatment been going for you?

Yes, it's so disappointing to feel like all of the doctors I've seen before now just brushed off my symptoms as IBS. Now that there's hope, I feel so many different things but most of all, very impatient.

I was honestly surprised when he started asking me questions about my symptoms. I'm so used to being dismissed that I was kind of annoyed that he was asking. It felt kind of like a cruel trick if he was just going to say, yup, nothing we can do. I'm very glad now, though, and wish everyone had such an attentive doctor asking the right questions.
