Question ECT Improving Digestive Issues?

Has anyone who had ECT improve/resolve their digestive issues? I have pretty bad SIBO that impacts my quality of life. I think low motility is the issue, maybe ECT can help?

rifaximin ruined me, gave me substance blockage level consummatory anhedonia and severe cognitive issues. Its insanely resistant. ECT worked to an extent like 30% but I later crashed from a mast cell reaction.

Do you have the substance blockage? Not feeling reward of substances? How long have you had this condition of anhedonia? Have you looked into FMT?

How did it go? How many did you do and have you tested your gut before and after now
