Are Your Antibiotics for SIBO Right?// Once you’ve been diagnosed with SIBO, what is the best SIBO treatment? Many people get the wrong treatment for SIBO from their doctors. In this video, I explain the research about how to treat SIBO, including what should be used for methane SIBO treatment, hydrogen SIBO treatment, as well as what the research says about how to treat SIBO naturally.

    Thanks for the great video and linking research studies to show my doctor.

  • @marvinkaris7963
    Hey! Just found your video because I suffer from IMO for almost a year now. I’m currently taking Rifaximin (14 days) and going to start metrodinazol on Friday for 14 days. My doc claims that it also works one after another - do you have any insights on this? Thanks in advance!!
  • Thank you so much for your video, my Dr. gave me rifaxian and Metronidazole to take for my methane Sibo. I did take the rifaxian alone before but with no success, it made my constipation worse so I stopped taking it. Do you think I will get constipation with the rifaxian and Metronidazole combination? I am so weary of taking it.

    I'm pretty sure I have SIBO but my doctors were all useless. Almost eight years back I had a really bad stomach infection. For three days I had the worst stomach ache of my life and was bed ridden. I had no diarrhea during the stomach infection. After the stomach ache past my gut was never the same again. I experience almost chronic bloating, it's my only symptom along with lethargy/fatigue. In the beginning I had some constipation but that got better. I think I had a hydrogen breath test done for SIBO and the test was negative. I'm really not sure now if it was hydrogen or methane, this was a very long time ago and it was in another country. The country I live in now offers no such tests. Do you have any suggestions for me? I'm so sick of living like this. I just want to get better already. I'm willing to try these antibiotics myself just to see if they can help me, what do you think I should do? I'm worried they might make me worse by destroying the good bacteria in my gut though. Thank you.
  • ❤ thank u. I’m so skinny and absorbing so bad that my dr said that for me the natural way is too long / debilitating. For the same reason quite scared about the antibiotics 😪 feel I’m dying..
  • Excellent video, my case is complex and I am very confused as I have reactive gastritis, gastroperisis, candida, histamine intolerance, hydrogen dominant SIBO. I don’t know in which order I should be treating my conditions. I also have h. pylori but it’s very low in number and no virulent factory. I also have heart burn, acid reflux. Severe food intolerance.

    I've tried rifaximin and had an reaction to it .. dificulty breathing .. I'm now trying metronidazole for 1 month 3 times a day ... hopefuly this will work beacuse this sibo is so horrible makes me feel sick all the time ....
  • @TheCambra
    I was only prescribed rifaximin. They said it should clear it up
  • What if I wanted to try herbal therapies for the treatment of SIBO. Where would I start to find the appropriate herbs to try?
  • @misterscruffle
    I was prescribed xifaxan and neomycin. I started to notice ringing in my ears so I think I’m going to stop taking neomycin. Have you heard of this happening to anyone else with neomycin?
  • @TheCambra
    I was prescribed neomycin for my sibo. With diet change and I feel completely back to normal loss of appetite anxiety bloating all went away
  • @violetcountry
    I am also going to start "only" with Rifaximin. The other one Neomycin my dr didn't even think about it. Even for Rifaximin, it was hard for me to get prescribed but it's covered by my insurance. I hope it changes my life! The thing is I could not get tested for SIBO because of hypoglycemia which I developed because of taking PPI. But the symptoms match how I got it. My pancreas blood work is fine. Can SIBO affect blood sugar?
  • I did keto for one year then stopped doing it. My gut is not the same as before, I get a lot of gas from foods that didn't affect me before. Is sibo and excess gas the same thing?
  • Is rifaximin and allicin a good combo for methane SIBO? My doctor is giving me rifaximin but I know you need to pair it with something else for methane.
  • @zeckendreck
    Hi, i just want to ask whats the dose of Neomycin for a Day? Thanks!
