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
Amazing! Glad you're feeling better :)
Hey can i please ask what was the dosage prescribed to you and how many times a day for how long . As at the moment I've been prescribed metronidazole 400 mg three times a day for 1 month but I have some side effects dificulty breathing a little bit and chest tightness so I think I'm gonna ask for neomycin instead.
@@danielgavrilas6419 I took neomycin twice a day for 14 days and now I have gallbladder issues so they're removing the gallbladder
@@danielgavrilas6419 550 mg rifaximin 3x per day, and 500 mg neomycin 2x per day for 21 days was what my ND prescribed.
@@danielgavrilas6419 my ND prescribed rifaximin 550 mg 3x per day and neomycin 2x per day for 21 days.
Thanks for the great video and linking research studies to show my doctor.
You're welcome Emily, glad I could help :)
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 ....
Sorry to hear rifaximin didn't work out for you, Daniel. I hope you find relief with your new treatment, too.
Very informative video. Clear and evidence based. I like it!
Such a great info and very clear !! Thanks so much for your help and time ❤
You're welcome, Katia.
Thank you very much for these insights
You are very welcome :)
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!!
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..
It's true the natural way takes longer, and often the antibiotics are a game changes...keep heart!
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?
It is a recognized side effect of neomycin...please ask your doctor about what they recommend.
I was given xifaxan (expensive) then I use a probiotic 1-2xs per day peppermint, oregano/peppermint tab & oil, slippery elm…. Fob diet… lemon water… apple cyber vinegar
I’ve lost about 12 pounds & now struggling with constipation . Frustrating & confusing. I think I’m doing better but cautious.
I just don’t understand why or where this came from. I’m concerned for my immune system.
I have hydrogen sulphide , but why?
Hard to answer, but often SIBO develops after a case of food poisoning, have you had this?
@@ConfluenceNutrition no food poisoning recently. Happened in 2014, but I did not get diarrhea or vomiting and a round of rifixamin cleared it. Since 2018 my digestion is screwed. Probably low stomach acid, had a small surgery and had to take antibiotics but I took probiotics afterwards. 2019 dec got flu had to take antibiotics and ibuprofen, since 2020 Jan my digestion has been worse with no improvements till now, severe constipation. Few months ago I started eating two bananas one to two hours after eating my once in a day meal, it was ok for weeks but then I started to notice this smell that smells like Sulphur to me, the one which is like pink Himalayan salt because I was having it, but the smell continues, and from a week or so I can see bloating too. I generally eat cabbage and carrots salad with a few raisins and some nuts, with that two eggs omelet, and a source of carb like flattened rice/semolina /chickpeas with yogurt. I cook everything and don't eat anything raw, except yogurt. I don't understand why the constipation doesn't resolve and getting worse, in general I have not had any flatulence issues in the past and my flatulence never smelled. I also take some supplements with food, yakult light (it has sorbitol), 400 mg magnesium glycinate, marine collagen, and a liver support (Liv 52). A couple of min this ago I managed to get softer bowel movements I think happened when I started taking yakult and magnesium supplement. Can you spot the culprit here? 😕
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.
HI Naveed, your question is not unusual, given your situation. I tend to suggest working in this order: foundations first (reduce stress, figure out your specific food triggers, and support digestive function as best you can), then address infections, starting with H pylori (if present), followed by parasites, then bacteria (including SIBO), then candida. With a ton of reactivity, however, you may have difficulty tolerating treatment. if this is the case, start with nervous system rehab, with something like the Gupta program. THis is a general suggestion of order of operations, but the specifics may need to be adjusted for you. If you'd like more in depth help, please book a call with me to discuss how my program could support you with all these issues, conditions, and questions. confluencenutrition.com/contact.
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.
Hi Lorinda, it's possible, but it's also possible it will help! If it does make your constipation worse, there may be other aspects at work that need considering, like candida, or motility.
@@ConfluenceNutrition, what can I take for motility? I think I also have low stomach acid as well. The way this all started was with my gallbladder and after getting my gallbladder removed, it has gotten worse.
@@lorindadelafuente4919 Hi Lorinda, many things influence motility, so the question is, which one(s) are right for you? Since your gallbladder removal was a trigger, I'd start with testing a bile acid supplement to see if that helps. STomach acid support can also sometimes support motility, as well as hydration, appropriate fiber, exercise, and infections (like SIBO). Specific motility supports include MotilPro by Pure Encapsulations (if you tolerate ginger) or Iberogast. But the most important ingredient of all is a method to figure out which is right for you...this is what I help my clients with. If you'd like help with that process, please reach out.
What if I wanted to try herbal therapies for the treatment of SIBO. Where would I start to find the appropriate herbs to try?
Hi Bob, gosh, I don't have a video on this specific topic yet! Maybe I should make one! In the meantime, check out Dr. Siebecker's site siboinfo.com, and see the tab titled "Treatments".
@@ConfluenceNutrition Thanks. I'll take a look. Hopefully, there's something there that will work.
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?
Hi there, excess gas can be a symptom of SIBO, but it's not the only reason it can happen.
I was only prescribed rifaximin. They said it should clear it up
Do you have methane SIBO, or just hydrogen?
@@ConfluenceNutrition methane
@@TheCambra the consensus is that for methane, rifaxiamin should be used with either neomycin or metronidazole.
@ConfluenceNutrition yeah they didn't do that. So I'm just taking it anyway
@@TheCambra Did it help?
What about Biofilm Busters for SIBO?
Yes, biofilm busters are a great addition to any SIBO protocol, whether herbal or antibiotics. I discuss in this video: th-cam.com/video/29qsUdBLKlk/w-d-xo.html
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?
Yes, it certainly can.
How are u feeling now?
Rifaximin destroyed my life. Insane insomnia, itchiness, and food intolerances that lasted 6 months the i finally found special probiotics for histamine intolerance. And in a week I was normal. I don't believe in SIBO or killing anything anymore. @@summersalix
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.
Hi Xenia, it might be, but the standard protocol is to combine it with neomycin or metronidazole (Flagyl).
@@ConfluenceNutrition my doctor refused to give me any of those! :( he didn’t even believe I have SIBO even after the test which CLEARLY showed I’m positive. Im so lost
@@xeniahernandez9535 That is truly frustrating, I'm sorry. Sounds like it might be time to find a different doctor, though I know there can be obstacles to that :(
@@ConfluenceNutrition I’ve tried COUNTLESS of doctors. This was the First one that even acknowledged SIBO and was willing to test me. I am trying the rifaximin with allicin right now and I am feeling some relief. I pray it’s the solution and of course I’ll follow the low Fodmap after and take a prokinetic
@@xeniahernandez9535 sounds like you're on the right track! Make sure to watch my video about how to prevent SIBO relapse: th-cam.com/video/YmHVrMyjA50/w-d-xo.html
Hi, i just want to ask whats the dose of Neomycin for a Day? Thanks!
According to Dr. Alison Siebecker, the standard protocol for neomycin is 500 mg twice per day along with the rifaximin.
@@ConfluenceNutrition Thank you so much!
@@zeckendreck You're welcome :)
