You cannot breathe properly after meals.

Not dramatically. But the breath feels shallow. Incomplete.

Sometimes a racing heart follows. Sometimes chest tightness.

Pulmonologist found nothing. Cardiologist found nothing. Told it might be anxiety.
It is not anxiety. It is mechanical.

SIBO gas distends the gut upward against the diaphragm. The diaphragm cannot descend fully. The breath becomes shallow. The body interprets incomplete breathing as threat. The nervous system activates. Palpitations follow.

Three symptoms. One mechanical source. Most people treat the anxiety. Nobody addresses the gas creating the restriction.
Rifaximin clears the bacteria.

It does not address the motility, the stomach acid, the diaphragmatic restriction, or the nervous system pattern allowing SIBO to return. This is why it comes back.
Complete recovery addresses all of these layers. In sequence.
