May be: Due to malabsorption, and as well the diet you are on, kindly follow up with doctor / gastroenterologist for better evaluation, wish you well

Not likely: Alternate causes for weight loss should be explored. Also, generalized abdominal pain is not a typical symptom of bacterial overgrowth. Your symptoms should be further investigated.
