Everyone’s different, but neomycin definitely did a number on my stomach whereas the first time I took the Xifaxan I don’t recall many side effects. I used Florastor with it.

I have a GI dietician and she said there’s not a ton of research on diets but I could see what made me feel better. The one thing she did say was not to change my diet while on the antibiotics because you want the “bugs” to be active so you can kill them off? Not sure if that’s true, but it kind of made sense at the time.

I found Dr. Pimentel’s protocol for preventing relapse here (he’s done a lot of research on SIBO): https://www.siboinfo.com/prevention-of-relapse.html

Fingers x’d for you that the treatment works!
