Hello. I hate to say this, but I have done the SIBO dance abd absolutely nothing helps. I refuse to take antibiotics for something that cycles back anyhow. It's vicious cycle for sure!

Same with me. The antibiotic treatment cost me $2,000 and did nothing.

Flagyl is the absolute best - however if you have anatomical abnormalities, then SIBO will come back regardless. I had my ileocecal valve removed and cecum, so SIBO always returns for me. However, if you have normal anatomy Flagyl may be worth a go. Xifaxan has never really helped me but there are no safety risks associated. Flagyl can cause neuropathy in rare cases.
