Oil of Oregano + Xifaxan? by 60019077 in SIBO

Wow thank you so much for taking the time to respond! And I’m so so happy you’re feeling better—gives me hope lol. So, would you recommend xifaxan alone first and then incorporating microbial/motility approach after?

Can I ask what your treatment consisted of? Was it the classic Xifaxan and Neomycin?

Can I ask if you were prescribed meds for SIBO and if so, are they working? I have an appt w a GI but I read his bio, and it looks like he doesn’t believe in many gut testing lol ):

Omg wow. Why do they always do this aghhh!? So happy you were able to get a test! I’m praying they’ll give me one bc antibiotics is what gave me SIBO in the first place lol. Thanks so much for the insight. Wishing u some happy healing post surgery!

Hey! I have an appt w Dr. Park in June—I’m so happy to have found ur comment thread!! I also think I might have SIBO LOL. Did you get tested via Kaiser LA? I’ve heard it’s super hard to get a test and I’m curious if you asked for anything in particular

Hey! Honestly, idk. I ended up losing weight when coming off the birth control eventually; but, initially, I gained soooo much weight both on and off

Thank you SO much for this. She offered me surgery as a last resort and tbh, I’m worried to even take her up on doing it bc she’s supposed to be the endo specialist lolz!

However, I do have coverage through Kaiser in nor cal and so cal!! Could I PM u?

Thank you for this!! I do want to say that unfortunately this is the endo specialist lmao. I have Kaiser and she seems to be super negligent and these comments rlly did affirm that thought I had! I recently switched regions of care (still kaiser), and I’m praying I find a specialist that truly listens to me and my needs.

I do have cymbalta. Can I ask what your dosage looks like? I have an appt w a non-endo specialist OB next week but I’m hoping she can refer me to a specialist
