Have you successfully treated SIBO?

From my own experience and that of another's post here, Lindemann's clinic has been less than helpful in spite of Ms. Lindemann's understanding. That body of knowledge has apparently not been sufficiently passed on to her assistants, who do the actual consulting. Cost me considerable $ before I realized that.

Interesting you say that (about Lindemann's practice) - I've heard/read this before on other forums and, I did a "Free Intro" call with one of the Practitioners. I wasn't impressed as her knowledge seemed rather limited; especially given the narrative /advertisement on the site about what they treat and how. So I decided to pass; glad I dodged that "bullet" 🙂

I have had SIBO and had rifaxamin treatment alone—once about a year ago and I was free of SIBO-D for a year. It came back when I was put on antibiotics for a UTI. Basically anytime I am I am on an antibiotic I get it and cannot get over the diarrhea. Recently I was put on another antibiotic and got SIBO again. I see the nurse practitioner of the bariatric surgery team at Vanderbilt University. I had a gastric bypass in 2018. This time she prescribed rifaxamin right away. Medicare turned it down. But Vanderbilt pharmacists made an appeal to Medicare and they paid for the whole amount. So far, so good. The rifaxamin seems to have worked for now.
