Has anyone treated SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) with an ileostomy? If so how? Thx!

Hi there! I am sorry you are going through this. I am wondering if I am experiencing the same thing as well. What are your symptoms? I find that I cannot eat ANYTHING, but particularly anything that has honey, sugar, etc (high carb content) without experiencing an almost immediate outpouring of pain, gas and diarrhea. Especially in the morning. I have an ileostomy and have had it since 2000. However it has only been in the past couple of years that I have noticed a dramatic increase in the gas in particular. I have always had a relatively high effluent output. I tried using probiotics, and my doc did give me a course of flagyl at one point. I suppose I need to go back and revisit this with her. At first I thought that I was developing a wheat intolerance, but this is much more generalized.
I am a nurse, and will do some research on this. Let me know what you are experiencing. There has got to be an answer.
