Suggest Treatment For Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth

Hi, I am suffering from extreme bloating. I have tried everything. I am 5'2" and weigh about 115 lbs, 44 years old, however, my stomach is extremely bloated at all times. I have tried everything, I am currently going to Johns Hopkins Hospital and have taken every kind of test. I was tested and determined positive for SIBO, went on 3 rounds of antibiotics and it did not help. I had an xray of my abdomen, I just had a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy this past Tuesday and everything was normal. I don't know what else to do....Please help.
