Hello. I'm starting Xifaxan and neomycin on Monday for my methane SIBO and I'm really, really nervous. Any tips or advice? TIA!

I worked with a nutritionist following my SIBO treatment. It’s been about 2 months and I’m symptom free but cautious. I still follow the FODMAP guidelines and use Fodzyme powder on foods that might be offensive to my GI system.
NEVER take neo. I now have devastating tinnitus for the rest of my life.
such a case study, for 1 person it is detrimental yet to another it has benefits.
Review and consider carefully, each Dr, each drug prescribed, each and every time.

1 ReactionHi,
How is everyone affording the Xifaxan? My daughter is on it, and with insurance, the cost is $3200 per month. After a manufacture coupon, that brings it down to $1000. She has to have it for liver disease, but the cost is making it incredibly difficult.
