Xifaxan for SIBO

Posted by drpepper @drpepper, Jan 3, 2019

A number of you have indicated success with SIBO using drug Xifaxan. Talked with my doctor yesterday and he said he didn't see how this would help. Said for IBS and travelers diarrhea. He reluctantly prescribed 600 mg per day for 10 days. Feedback appreciated. Thanks

I need to hear some success stories. Everything I've read on the internet shows very poor efficacy of Xifaxan. My doctor has order 550 mg twice a day for 14 days along with Neomycin. Both are antibiotics. The Xifaxan is going to cost me $1,057.73. Also, I've read Xifaxan can cause C. Diff. (hospital acquired from spinal surgery) and after 3 years, I am still recovering from the damage that nasty bacteria left in my colon.
