Reply to "Has anyone treated SIBO successfully?"

Docs are telling J-pouchers to take probiotics because studies have shown that probiotics reduced incidence of pouchitis. VSL #3 and Visbiome are lableled specifically for J-pouchers. I understand that Dr. Shen may now be recommending a different approach to his patients, but let's not overstate this. There's plenty of uncertainty here, and humility is warranted. I'm not aware of evidence that probiotics (or yogurt, for that matter) cause SIBO.
