Thanks Rocknrobbn. Let’s keep each other posted on updates I have now had Sibo twice after surgery. A prescription called refaxin helps. I am now using a prokinetic called Motegrity fingers crossed this gets better over time my G.I. doctor thinks I’ll probably have it the rest of my life but I’m not sure I want to accept that just yet by the way where did you find a G.I. doctor that believes in SIFO mine does not but I believe in it? Best of luck to you

I found him through the referral my Family Nurse Practitioner put in when she couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I had so many blood and stool tests with no finding to explain my chronic diarrhea and feeling unwell everyday.
I am in an HMO and on medicare advantage plan. I cannot self direct my care. Just by luck I had my consult with a gastroenterologist who understands SIBO/ SIFO in post hemicolectomy surgery with removal of the ileocecal valve.
My doctor also said it will be life long. I have had this for several years so I believe him.
I was on Cipro and Metronidazole and now on Augmentin.
