Default SFN vs Autonomic Neuropathy

I was diagnosed with SFN several years ago. At the same time I started having several terrible digestive problems. None of the doctors I have seen have ever linked the 2.
After reading about autonomic neuropathy, it sounds like that is exactly what my digestive problems seem to be.

Do SFN and autonomic neuropathy normally go hand-in-hand, or are they 2 completely different, unrelated problems?
Would I be out of line to suggest this is my problem, before starting a whole series of tests to try to find out why I am having digestive problems, which is what my doctor wants to do.

Antibiotics seems to be the common treatment for this. Shouldn't that be my first step considering that I already know I have SFN, before starting intestinal biopsy, etc. etc.? I had a recent colonoscopy and am clear of polyps. Help.

Thanks
