Hello,

I happen to have IPS and SIBO. I will try to explain my symptoms and I hope it will be helpful for you.

in addition to UC,  I was a lifelong sufferer of IBS. The symptoms of IPS kind of mimic IBS.  I have spasms, cramping and frequency of small amounts of stool.  I take levsin sub-lingual to alleviate the IPS when it occurs. I also watch my diet so as to not ingest foods that will induce irritation.

I was tested and had a positive breath test for SIBO.  But I knew I had it because of the very smelly and gross gas and stool. I am awaiting insurance approval for xifaxin, which is the preferred antibiotic to treat it. As a work around, i take 1 or 2  gasx after every meal.

SIBO also causes similar symptoms as IPS, but if I did not know any better I would’ve thought it was all IPS.

Ideally I should cut back on sugar intake, but it’s one of few food/beverage pleasures I have left.

I hope this helps,

eric
