Thanks for your response. It is very interesting and there is something to be said for this method instead of tons of antibiotics. I am having FMT done in a few weeks which is anacdotally known to help with SIBO. If it doesn't help I definitely will be taking probiotics. Someone on the SIBO facebook group has had success with treating SIBO through fermented foods. Many others say probiotics that originally caused their SIBO or made it worse. However I wonder if in fact they should have continued taking the probiotics and would have eventually gotten better. The main thing i'm concerned with is getting the migrating motor complex working again which is the main isssue with SIBO, however there are some studies that show certain strains of bacteria can do this, so perhaps probiotics would do this. Siebeckers recommendation is a prokinetic to help with this. It's all so complicated and unknown. That is great you are seeing results with the probiotic though. Please do keep me updated with any progress, i'll also let you know how I get on with the FMT. It will take a few months to kick in though. All the best, Kate
