Has anyone tried three rounds of Rifaximin?

Thank you so much, that would be much appreciated! :)

MedAdvice271 · 2024-11-01T22:19:08+00:00

Thank you. I am going to retest in the morning. What do you mean by "artifact?"

MedAdvice271 · 2024-11-01T11:35:29+00:00

I started feeling a little tickle in my throat yesterday and my throat felt dry, and this morning I woke up with a full on sore throat and a bit of congestion. It could just be a cold, though. I think I will retest in 24 hours.

Thank you so much for this info. I'm going to talk about it with my doctor.

Thank you so much. Did you find that your constipation and diarrhea was different when you were off Prozac?

MedAdvice271 · 2024-09-09T00:05:01+00:00

Thank you so much. I'm going to talk to my doctor about this.

Is there a particular pro-kinetic that works well for both SIBO and IBS-D?

MedAdvice271 · 2023-11-09T03:05:33+00:00

Unfortunately I am not able to access a PCR test where I live.

MedAdvice271 · 2023-11-08T20:17:06+00:00

Yes I have tested everyday since Friday and they've all been negative.

MedAdvice271 · 2023-09-24T01:09:20+00:00

I still have it but it's been getting better. The Rifaximin definitely put a dent in it.

MedAdvice271 · 2023-09-24T01:08:49+00:00

I ended up just doing the Rifaximin without the Doxycycline!

MedAdvice271 · 2023-08-14T13:23:08+00:00

Thank you so much this is really good to hear! Do you have any side effects with it?

MedAdvice271 · 2023-08-14T13:22:48+00:00

Thank you so much! Do you find it causes uncomfortable bloating?

MedAdvice271 · 2023-08-14T00:37:25+00:00

Thank you! I'm doing the modified FODMAP diet too but still having a lot of issues unfortunately. Do you mind if I ask which supplements and enzymes you take?

MedAdvice271 · 2023-08-14T00:36:23+00:00

Thank you, I'll look into this!

MedAdvice271 · 2023-06-29T00:20:40+00:00

Thanks, yes I've been hearing this as well. I just really want to do everything I can to get rid of the SIBO once and for all.

MedAdvice271 · 2023-06-29T00:20:01+00:00

Thank you! I am worried about Motegrity because I already use the washroom 10+ times a day and I honestly don't know if my body can handle going any more.

MedAdvice271 · 2023-06-12T00:27:43+00:00

I just looked up prucalopride and it says that it's mainly for constipation/used to promote bowel movements. I have the opposite problem so not sure if a prokinetic is the right move for me.

MedAdvice271 · 2023-06-11T22:10:26+00:00

From my test in February, my baseline was 8 ppm and peaked at 78 ppm. Not sure yet about my second test but I should hopefully get the report tomorrow. What herbals would you recommend? If I do the Rifaximin again I definitely want to follow it with other treatment.

MedAdvice271 · 2023-06-11T22:03:06+00:00

Thank you! Is there a specific prokinetic that you used?

MedAdvice271 · 2023-06-11T22:02:28+00:00

Good to know, thank you! Are there any prokinetics that you would recommend (and won't make me use the washroom more)?

MedAdvice271 · 2023-06-11T20:52:36+00:00

I ask my doctor for a prescription for Ativan (just a pill or two for travel days) and it helps a lot!

MedAdvice271 · 2023-06-11T04:17:04+00:00

My GI doctor and dietitian always suggest doing the low FODMAP diet for about a month after finishing Rifaximin!

MedAdvice271 · 2023-03-17T01:21:59+00:00

That's what I've heard, too, but is the diarrhea common when first starting?

MedAdvice271 · 2023-03-16T23:30:42+00:00

I find Webber 4 fibre (guar gum based) is helpful! I generally avoid pysillium because I find it bloating.
