Has anyone been cured of SIBO with Xifaxan.

I'm sorry it didn't help you. The first time I took Xifaxan, it improved my symptoms slightly, but I didn't have complete resolution.

It turned out I had methane-dominant SIBO and for methane-dominant SIBO, they've found that Xifaxan + Neomycin (another antibiotic) is more effective. Did your breath test indicate what type of SIBO you had?

It's so frustrating.

I don't know if the breath test indicated what type of SIBO I've got or not. I'm not going to bother to try seeing our local Gastroenterologist practice again (or even call them) to find out: it takes about 8 months to get an appointment and about 15 calls leaving messages to get a call back, seriously. I hear that there's a really good (better than ours anyway) Gastroenterologist practice in a town about 30 min. from here but they're only taking patients that live in that town.

This town isn't super small but you'd think we were with how sparse our local medical professionals are.
