Bacterial Overgrowth

hey all

have any of you guys been diagnosed with a bacteria overgrowth which might be contributing to your ibs? What are the tests for this?

I know symptoms include bloating and D, but is the D usually quite severe and what other symptoms might their be?

i'm just a bit curious ...

i think i might have a similar problem, but might have been created by a biopsy which found ulcers....and I took anti biotics which killed off all the good stuff and i was in a battle to try and win my stomach over but everything appears to have just gone chaotic and i have D almost every day 4 times a day

Here is some info that I found (I googled bacteria breath tests)
