@h8bigbiz I was put on Rifaximin twice for SIBO. I assume that's what you are referring to. It never cleared up my SIBO/symptoms, but now a doctor may want to put me on it again. Do you know of other antibiotics that have been used to treat SIBO?

My SIBO ended up being methane dominant or what they now call Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth (IMO). For that they treated me with Rifaxamin and Neomycin which is another antibiotic. I took both prescriptions at the same time.
No, I don't; I'm sorry.

It is my understanding that whether or not you "treat" SIBO, it will come and go regardless. I opt to not take any unnecessary antibiotics as that can be very damaging long term. It's all about picking your poisons I'm afraid.
