prep week for the sibo test absolutely wrecked me. stopping promotility drugs for a week not only made my burping/bloating symptoms worse, it created so much upward gas pressure that I had acid pooling in my throat which lead to a whole set of new LPR and nausea problems. So now my sibo specific symptoms are worse, and I also have a new set of upper GI problems I need to take acid reducers to deal with :(

I understand the importance of doing the test, but everyone's symptom set is different so please be careful when deciding to do stop these medications for a week.

edit: also forgot to say, lactulose gave me explosive diarrhea for a day
