Could This Be SIBO Methane?
I am a 22 year old male having digestive issues for about 5 months. My symptoms include constipation with sticky stools, a feeling of incomplete bowel movement, foul smelling gas, and bloating soon after eating when constipated. I consulted a gastroenterologist who prescribed Linaclotide and Movicol and advised dietary changes and exercise, which I followed, but I have not experienced significant relief, when I discussed with him about SIBO he refused to get me tested. About a two months ago I took ofloxacin + ornidazole for 5 days and noticed slight improvement, but the symptoms returned. I am wondering if this could be related to SIBO, especially methane related, and whether a breath test would be appropriate. Would treatment options like rifaximin with metronidazole be considered in such cases?

Surgery to fix lax cardia (Lose LES)
I was recently diagnosed with Lax Cardia (incompetent Lower Esophageal Sphincter) via endoscopy. My primary symptoms are constant throat irritation and regurgitation. Despite strictly following medical therapy (PPIs), diet modifications, and lifestyle changes, I have seen no significant improvement.
I am now considering surgical or endoscopic interventions. Specifically, I would like to know:
Are the LINX Reflux Management System or the Stretta Procedure currently available at any hospitals in Bangalore?
What is the approximate cost for these procedures in the city?
Based on my symptoms, would you recommend one over the other, or should I consider a traditional Nissen Fundoplication?
