[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It took me a few weeks on Rifaximin. But it can take a while if you have a lot of the archaea or bacteria. Drink lots of water to help flush it all out.

My first attempt at getting rid of SIBO was with the herbal regimen created by that Johns Hopkins doctor. I forget his name. I could tell that it was killing off the archaea, which caused my methane-producing SIBO.

However, I decided to go for Rifaximin after the herbals. After one round, the doctor made a note that my numbers were so high because I probably did not follow the dietary directions. However, another doctor said, “No, you have a very bad case of this.”

I needed a second round and finally started to feel better, which was a strange feeling after spending a decade so sick.

People kept asking if I had an eating disorder, which was very annoying.

In 2021, I thought maybe it had come back after seven years, so I visited a GI. To my surprise, they no longer require the breath test because they think it does not work. I then had to laugh at that doctor who blamed me for the wild test results now that they think the test results are inaccurate…😂😂

I had Rifaximin again, and it worked well. brain fog and other symptoms cleared up. But, after that, they said I would need an endoscopy if my problem had not cleared up. My insurance would not pay for that though.

Is it all gone? I don’t know and still worry about it a little. [/quote]
It’s appalling that insurance wouldn’t cover an endoscopy. I hope your symptoms never return.

Why am I doing the breath test if they don’t think it even works?![/quote]
