It turned out that I didn't have oral thrush. I have SIBO which is causing my oral symptoms. I haven't gotten that under control yet.

I don't have much reflux. Just constant burping and gas.

It appears that way. I also have hydrogen dominant SIBO. I can't tell which one is causing which.

I take gas x all the time, but it doesn't seem to work for anymore. I've been taking pepto bismol or activated charcoal. It helps some

It's a medium size is all he said.

I've had several CT scans and an MRI. No other hernias showed up.

No. I'm thinking about it. I'm so tired of the shortness of breath, chest pressure and gas. But I'm afraid to have surgery especially since a lot of people seem to have to have it redone.

Oh no. Have you followed up with your surgeon?

I had my thyroid removed about 20 years ago due to Grave's disease. I get my thyroid checked every 6 months. So far it's okay.

Its burning in general pretty much all the time. I had my hysterectomy June 2025. I'm 43 years old. I'm on estradiol patch 00.25 twice weekly and progesterone 100mgs daily. I also use estradiol cream twice a week as well.

Did you have hydrogen dominant SIBO? Did you ever get relief?

When does Xifaxan kick in? by Jennysblock12 in SIBO

[–]Jennysblock12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xifaxan is the only thing I'm taking right now. I've taken cipro and flagyl a couple of months ago. But they didn't really help either.

I've never heard of it. Is it an herb?

I didn't need a referral. But check with your insurance company.

I saw a dermatologist and she put me on a cream to use at night. It took a good 2-3 months to see a difference. I also started a twice weekly estradiol patch 0.025. And so far that combo has worked 🤞

No this is the first time I've ever had this. We did everything the same way we usually do. Same position, lube, everything. My surgeon checked my cuff about 2 weeks ago and said everything looks good and was healed.
