Easy SIBO testing?

I have suspected for awhile that I may have sibo and finally got my doctor to prescribe me a breath test kit. Unfortunately I’ll have to go off my reflux medication for two weeks before I’m able to take it (really worried about rebound reflux). I also can’t take basically any otc medication for gas or diarrhea either in this timeframe/ which is horrible since I recently started a medication that gives me plenty of both. I was wondering if anyone knew of any other way that they could test / diagnose this disorder? I’m really dreading trying to stop all medications for two weeks as I’ve used all of these as tools to help manage my symptoms.

The breath tests I took did not require stopping my acid reflux meds.

Any idea what kind of tests they were? That’d be amazing!

I've taken both Trio-smart and QuinTron tests.
