You can get tested for SIBO but I decided to just start treatment right away without confirmation of the test, because I am so desperate to feel better.

As someone mentioned, the prep that you need to do the day before a colonoscopy is by far the worst part of things. The actual colonoscopy is no big deal. As part of the prep, I was told to take… read more
