Has anyone been cured of SIBO with Xifaxan.
I need to hear some success stories. Everything I've read on the internet shows very poor efficacy of Xifaxan. My doctor has order 550 mg twice a day for 14 days along with Neomycin. Both are antibiotics. The Xifaxan is going to cost me $1,057.73. Also, I've read Xifaxan can cause C. Diff. (hospital acquired from spinal surgery) and after 3 years, I am still recovering from the damage that nasty bacteria left in my colon.

Good information in case I don't respond to the Xifaxan. Thank you.
The SUPER GUT book is very informative. Well worth the price.
Take Dysbiocide and FC-Cidal, from Biotics Research from Amazon. I took it I think for 6 weeks per doctor's instruction and my Sibo never returned.
Dont eat sweets while trying to heal.
I completed the Dysbiocide and FC-Cidal with my Functional Medicine doctor a year ago. It didn't work for me. I was not told to avoid anything like sweets however.
Sweets and gluten feed sibo. I tried these herbals once and returned, but the second time made it disappear. Please cut wheat, gluten and also any food that is sweet and you should do it all the time. You can eat something sweet every now and then. I bet you will see the results. I would not even eat juice, watermelon and fruits that are sweet till get better. Then you can have them sometimes.
jojo - Thank you for your quick response. I was tested for gluten and I do not have celiac or a gluten intolerance. I can give it a try. Gluten free bread is awful and grainy (yuck) and I always have a sandwich for lunch. I don't know how to make a sandwich any other way. I was hoping the Xifaxan and Neomycin combo would do the trick. I'm only on day 4 out of 14 days on that.
