Was Eradicated of Hpylori 8/12 and suffered bad side effects. This past January I was diagnosed with SIBO. Any coincidence pertaining to Eradication?

it's an interesting question. But the relationship between H. pylori and other microbs in the intestine is not well studied. There are observation that showed some kind of correlation, but the evidence is still not strong.

In your case, I think it is aftermath of antibiotics treatment. Have you done a colonoscopy or check for c. difficile?

Yes I've been checked twice for Cdiff. I've been diagnosed with IBS. I'm on Bentyl, Amitriptyline and Buspirone. What a vicious cycle Hpylori can cause.
