Hi, I'm new here, posting like mad! sorry! I'm 65, had diarrhea off and on for TWO YEARS and just found out I have CDiff.
So now, while I'm in the midst of struggling with cdiff, I find out that I might have SIBO and have to go in for that 6 hour breath test.
So. How nervous should I be about how messed up my colon and intestines are? This all just feels so worrisome! Any advice appreciated!
SIBO too?

Re: SIBO too?
I got SIBO after c diff too. Another infection can mess up the GI flora and cause SIBO. Are you being treated for c difficile or did you already finish treatment? You can't have a breath test while on antibiotics or for a few weeks after. Check with your doctor. If you are still being treated, Xifaxan used to be given as a chaser after vanco and it is helpful for SIBO as well.
