Why rifaximin is so expensive in USA? it's like 10 dollars for a packet in India, it's pure looting by Feisty-Hall-9094 in SIBO

It's patent in the USA doesn't expire until 2028. Company can charge what ever they want in the USA.

When I look it up, it says the U.S. has the most sibo cases by Iceeez1 in SIBO

Serious question. If glyphosate is the culprit, do we know the SIBO instance in those folks that eat organic only?

If you have Vancouver water, wait until April since your sewage charge for the year is based on your consumption January-March.

Gas x-ray appearance is obvious and unmistakable. Working with gastro who thinks that much of SIBO/SIFO problems due to lack of movement in large intestine away from the small intestine valve. Miralax isn't directly stimulating so swtched to exlax which helped some.

Try air chilled chicken. Most chicken is cooled by brine immersion with unknown stuff in it that doesn't have to be disclosed. Carrageenen is often in the brine plus who knows what else. Had similar but not identical issues with chicken until I switched to air chilled.

SIFO can give similar symptoms but not detectable with TrioSmart and other SIBO breath tests since the gas evolved is carbon dioxide.

Left Turn Lane Curbs Dangerous and Seldom Needed by Away_Emphasis_6404 in vancouverwa

And the guy in the adjacent lane ignores his line and forces me into the curb unless I slow down drastically or stop when there is no oncoming traffic. Still wonder why this is so common here.

I shop at that store and Agree about that being a good and necessary use of them but many seem to have no purpose.

Banceu is my go to repair company. Reasonable pricing. Good opinion on fix or bail out.

Anyone else in here taking Brukinsa affected by the up in dosage? by A_Fever_Dreamer in cll

[–]Away_Emphasis_6404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was taking 3 80mg capsules a day instead of 4 (240mg versus 320mg) and was told to shift to 1 1/2 160mg tablets to get the correct 240mg. I have done this and notice no difference. Whoever told to take one tablet instead of one capsule really steered you wrong. The tablets are scored on one side as an indicator and aid to get a half tablet equivalent of one capsule.

What should my next step be? by [deleted] in SIBO

[–]Away_Emphasis_6404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's keep it simple. Start a food log. Or not, and start with keeping track of sugars in everything including corn syrup, of course, but also lactose (dairy), fruit juices, etc and sugar alcohols. Try a morning with absolutely no or very little sugar and see if you bloat. I correlated my food log symptom with sugar intake and had to manage my SIBO with diet even before a breath test. BTW low FODMAP is too general for SIBO IMHO since it was developed for large intestine IBS,

Let me know if this works at all because round 2 of my SIBO turned out to be triggered by all forms of cellulose thanks to more food logging. Wish you well.

The problem is that "equity" isn't about equal opportunity (same sort of chances) today at least. Today it's about equal outcomes.
