[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry you are struggling with this. I had a long, serious undiagnosed GI issue and when it was finally taken seriously and a large batch of tests were done, a endoscopy slowed that my duodenum was very inflamed, but no other test was positive was except I was borderline for SIBO.  My doctor decided to treat it aggressively anyway. I had two rounds of Rifaximin (14 day each) and 3 rounds of neomycin (28 days each).  I started to feel better within days of starting the first course of SIBO antibiotics but still had symptoms and symptoms increased when I stoped between courses of antibiotics. I had been on an immunosuppressant medication and the doctor’s theory was that that complicated the problem. Now at the 9 months point, I am symptom free and working back from an extremely limited diet and maintaining with special probiotics. I really didn’t think I would be this well ever again. There is a research center for IBS/SIBO at Cedars Sinai in LA. Dr. Mark Pimental. The center created a second SIBO test, a blood test called IBS Smart which can be used to monitor recovery.  There are a number of Dr. Pimental YouTube videos that might be helpful to you.  My doctor followed the Pimental protocol. Hope this might be helpful. [/quote]
