Do you have any good wisdom on how you got diagnosed and what diets? I've always had GI issues and I have found some triggers like mushrooms, blackberries and cauliflower which poimt towards SIBO but my GI doc says there is no SIBO treatment or diet, and sometimes I have problems even on fodmaps. I did AIP diet with my wife who has Hashi's and I think that might have helped a little but not sure. Everything my GI prescribes just makes it worse. I can't eat sweet potatoes anymore after he put me on a round of fluconozole.

In my case my diagnosis was because they didn't know what was going on and the gastro doc ordered a camera both ends to rule things out - it showed up on the colonoscopy and the biopsies up til then I had no idea. I'd lost a lot of weight worryingly fast - mostly because of massive reflux problems (barrets oesophagus), was having frequent bouts of vomiting and diarrhoea and was generally in a shit state all around - as for diet it's really hard to recommend anything to anyone else since it varies so much - what worked for me was keeping a detailed journal of what I ate, how I felt, how I slept, toilet habits, times etc then I cut out basically everything from my diet I could for a few weeks (think porridge, cottage cheese and mashed potato/oven cooked chicken breasts) and very gradually added things back still keeping the journal until I had actual data I could look at - for me there isn't really any one food or group that acts as a trigger red meat/processed meat comes the closest, it's large high fat/high carb (think Pizza) that do it - if I eat fresh foods/veggies/fish/cheese (hard not soft) and limited amounts of fruit I have it mostly under control but what works for me might wreck you.

  Thanks! I don't loose weight easily, and everyone mentions that, so I don't think that is my problem. My gut does well on a western processed food diet, but that would kill me eventually. Greens and roots lean poultry and fish don't cause me discomfort, but diarrhea is common. I keep hoping I'll just adapt to it, but I think maybe I'm not built for that much fiber.
