Just curious. I'm tempted to have one. I burp like crazy all the time and have recently started blowing up like a balloon.

I had a breath test for SIBO. It's fairly easy to do...just drink this thing that tastes like water with sugar. .. then you breathe into a device every 15 minutes. Mine was negative but it's always nice to check just in case.

Thanks Maddikins,
Where did you have it done, or did you get some sort of home testing kit?
