I did not realize that IBS and diverticulitis went along with fibromyalgia. I have had IBS for a very long time I thought it is a part of my on going gerd and acid reflux. All my other stomach problems. Never heard of this test. Sounds like it's a test anyone should have that has fibro and IBS problems. Thank you for the info.

It is Heather sis how did you get on? My partner said he had to blow into a breathing machine a few time. And they gave him a liquid to drink.
His test OK. 👌🤗💐

@A MyFibroTeam Member, it doesn't sound odd at all, it's a huge revelation to discover so much is linked to fibro.
I'm glad I found this site too. It is a relief to be among friends who 'get it'
Have a lovely weekend, love and hugs 💕

Hi Clare
It involves fasting for 12hours before the test. They get you to blow into a machine a few time during that process they give a special drink.
The breathing machine will show up a reading if you have bad bacteria in your lower intestine.
Look it up on the Internet it will give you more of a insite.
