Re: Sibo
Hi Lidia, I am actually in the middle of a second round of Rifaximin.
I had maybe 50% general improvement from the last round.
Then I had a UTI and had to take Macrobid for seven days.
I started this Rifaximin a week after I finished the Macrobid.
My GI doc really wanted me to take a second round and believes I will have additional improvement.
But of course, with any of this I am terrified of c Diff. But I have suffered so much with SIBo, I have tried for my fear to not stop me from treating the SIBo which I desperately need.
I took Enteragam again between the rounds of Rifaximin. For me, it seems to keep my gut function more stable, and I have way less painful abdominal cramping.
It is a great product that provides definite symptom improvement. It may not be a cure, but it sure does make day to day life more bearable. I am glad it is helping you.
Are you still using digestive enzymes?
I am thinking Of experimenting with that after this medication. The fact is the SIBo will just keep coming back because I’m not solving the cause.
But I feel like I’ve run out of ideas. My doctor just says eat low fodmap, and that’s it.
Take care!

Re: Sibo
You are right about enteragam, and yes the Dr tell me the same thing, lately I start to have again stomach pain and pain on my right upper abdomen. I gain few pounds. Scared of the gastritis or hpylory again. It is a rolocoster, I have days when I want to give up .
I wish I could take xifaxan.
I hope this time xifaxan will help for you.
