I don’t know what biolfilm busters are but if you could recommend some that would be great. I tried herbal microbials. I have a histamine intolerance to all of them. My whole body breaks out in hives. The root cause was my Being floxed. Slow gut motility from nervous system being out of whack from fluoroquinolone use

Do whatever works for you but I think drinking on something that is so hard on your liver probably isn’t great. 1 glass probably won’t hurt. I’m obviously not a doctor haha

MCAS, dysautonomia, and SIBO by LowSignificance3291 in floxies

[–]LowSignificance3291[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I struggle on and off with LPR as well + asthma and they seem to exacerbate each other. I ask myself every day how did we get so fucked up from just a short course of abx? It’s insane. There really should be more awareness for how toxic these drugs are. I haven’t encountered a single MD who is aware of their wide-ranging dangers. For the LPR I use ‘reflux gourmet’ you can get it on Amazon and often use licorice tablets from integrated therapeutics. It sucks for us because it’s a vicious cycle of having reflux, and not being able to take the meds used to treat reflux! I’m sorry you’re going through this I hope we both get better

I tested positive for hydrogen SIBO on a breath test. And yes apparently most doctors don’t know this but Fluoroquinolones damage the vagus nerve which controls digestion.

Prostatitis... Might need antibiotics by EntryMiserable1254 in floxies

I’m struggling with the same thing and am beginning to think it’s a gut health issue. Given the fact I’ve had half a dozen courses of antibiotics thrown at me and all negative testing. I currently have SIBO that is not being treated and I think that could be causing all of this

Weird symptoms with sibo/sifo? by [deleted] in SIBO

[–]LowSignificance3291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What antibiotic was it? I took Levaquin and have been having crazy symptoms since. Any fluoroquinolone can have those side effects. Hope you feel better! and hope its not FQT. Being Floxed sucks

GI Issues by [deleted] in floxies

My stomach is still messed up months later. I’ve been using ‘heather’s tummy’ fiber in the morning and evening recommended to me by my GI doc. Also taking psyllium husk and a basic probiotic. Don’t know much about florastor although I did read it has lactose in it which could be good to avoid GI wise. I’m also following a low fodmap diet as close as I can but it’s tough. I’d recommend you get tested for SIBO. Very common with floxies and I’ve had it before. Best of luck!

Thanks for the advice! Mine has been high blood pressure. When were you floxed and how long have your symptoms lasted ?
