If your susceptible to SIBO due to dymotility then why would you thrown in probiotics ie any bacteria which will just sit in the small bowel and ferment, in my case, adding fuel for the SIBO to grow?

Could autonomics dysfunction cause a myopathic finding on antroduodenal manometry? Meaning that there is a neuropathy but its causing myopathic dysmotility? bruc

25 years of constant severe debilitating abdominal pain. Im also diagnosed with esophageal dysmotility and myopathy, small bowel dysmotility via manometry, severe colonic inertia, dysphagia. Being treated for extensive SIBO which will be a lifelong re-occurring struggle. Keeping my bowels moving as best as possible with 17grams of Nulytely daily more as needed. They also have me on doxepin. My neurologist has diagnosed dysautonomia of unknown form and attributes the GI dysmotilities to this. GI specialist doesnt support a neuropathy cause due to antroduodenal manometry findings suggestive of myopathy. My clinical and diganostic presentation are atypical, a hybrid. Very confusing picture. To date, 25 years later, I cant find any relief from this abdominal pain 8+ constantly and peaking very often. How is dysautonomia causing this visceral pain? Would diet help alleviate this pain? Open to any suggestions.

Any chance mestinon helps relieve abdominal pain?

Julie, Did the antroduodenal manometry testing results indicate a pattern suggestive of neuropathy? Mine results indicate myopathy. bruc

Are you experiencing any side effects with the Mestinon?
