Yeah,I've seen Sifo being mentioned a couple of times on Sibo boards.
Ofcourse there are many types of funghi, but I wonder if Sifo is partially just a new trendy marketing name for what once was called Candidiasis/Candida overgrowth, to make a buck of people.
Like you say SIFO is probably more or less synonymous with candida overgrowth, since that is the most common fungal infection in the digestive system. Small intestinal fungal overgrowth - PubMed
On that note I tried treating my mystery gut issues with a variety of antifungals (MSM, undecylenic acid, monolaurin, pau d arco, grapefruit seed extract, allicin, some other expensive stuff I can't remember) but no real lasting results. So for me I think it was definitely bacterial.
