@eileenredding- My insurance has never paid a nickel against the thousands I have spent. I suggest you steer clear of neomycin, often prescribed with Xifaxan (riflaxamin) because neomycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which will sterilize the entire GI tract, "good" bugs included, often leading to life-long health issues.

Hi, @geezer7491 - I'd also like to welcome you to Mayo Clinic Connect. You mentioned neomycin, so I thought I'd post the information Mayo Clinic has online about this particular medication:

- Neomycin (oral route) https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/neomycin-oral-route/description/drg-20065027

Also, as you talked about a study of a breath tester by Johns Hopkins, I thought it would be helpful to post the information on the study you mentioned, which was published by the journal Digestive Diseases and Sciences in 2024:

- Validation of a Hand-Held Point-of-Care Device to Measure Breath Hydrogen and Its Utility in Detecting Response to Antibiotic Treatment https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10620-024-08583-7
