Permanent SIBO due to removal of ileocecal valve

I take Nascobal, the nasal spray and it works as well, if not better, than the monthly injection.
@tiss How and where did you find someone willing to try Rifaximin daily? I have a great specialist and terrible recurring SIBO bc of no ileocecal valve post hemicolectomy but I'm still on antibiotic rotation (year 3).

I have not heard of Nascobal but will ask my dr about it next time I see him. Would be nice to find a b12 med I don't have to go to Drs office once a month for injections.
As far as my GI prescribing long term, daily xifaxan, I guess I just lucked out. He gets it that this SIBO will only be controlled by meds, not cured. I fired my old GI about a year after surgery because he had NO CLUE about SIBO and didn't really believe it exists. I am on Medicare so it costs 800.00 a month. Not what we had expected during retirement. Xifaxan won't be going generic until 2028. I hope I live long enough to pay zip for it!
