Boot, your symptoms scream sibo. You dont need breathe test to diagnose. Get short course of xifaxaxan, maybe your doc can give you samples or maybe the xifaxan pharm company has patient assist program.
Also try fodmap diet..be strict with it. I have posted previously on this so do a search on
fodmap and sibo. You probably need fodmap and xifaxan together if you have sibo so bad with symptoms you describe and also weight loss.
Also fodmap isnot totally carbless by any means. So that will be a plus to you.
Unfortunately i am very sibo knowledgeable because i suffer from "one of worst cases" my docshave ever seen
Oh and when it is at its worse..go on liquid diet for 3-7 days, but the trick is the liquids have to be fodmap friendly. One i use which my Cc dieticien found for me is boost kids essentials. I can only get it online.

I agree; this sounds like SIBO to me too. But, have you been tested for Celiac? It would be worth ruling that out as well.
