Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth = Shit breath?

[gotshot26]

Hello there,

Im diagnosed with SIBO recently. my doctor prescribed me Ciprofloxacine. during the course my bb was gone and yesterday was my last day taking it, and it sadly came back.

What I find verry weird is that I took flagyl before and it didnt help at all. Amoxciline didnt help too, only ciprofloxacine which was prescribed to me for sibo helped temporary.

Now what I find very weird is that my doctor didnt prescribe me rifaximin which is given to sibo patient most of the time. Rifaximin is a antibiotic which shld be taken in high dosage to cure sibo and ONLY WORKS IN THE SMALL GUT .

so this could be the answer actually. Im just waiting for my appointment, if Rifaximin works it will mean that my BB comes from my small intensine which means that SIBO is the culprit if it does not help then I'm sure BB is comming from my tongue

Did the Rifaximin cure you mate?

SIBO Symptoms
SIBO is an abnormal number of bacteria in the small intestine that can lead to:

bloating and increased passing of gas (flatulence)
diarrhea or constipation
abdominal pain
nausea
fatigue
In more extreme cases, the small intestine may not be able to absorb nutrients. In these situations, you may also experience weight loss and anemia (iron deficiency).

SIBO Treatment Options
Our specialists understand that there are different levels and types of SIBO. These distinctions matter when determining the most appropriate treatment. Depending on the extent of your condition, treatment may vary. We deliver customized treatment for:

hydrogen-predominant SIBO: The primary treatment is the antibiotic rifaximin.
methane-predominant SIBO: This type of SIBO is harder to treat, and it may take longer to respond to treatment. We use rifaximin plus neomycin for these cases.
recurrent SIBO: We closely monitor you for a recurrence of SIBO. If it happens, you will benefit from our experience treating the disease. We have experience with formulations of antimicrobial herbs, which can be used to treat recurrences and as an alternative for initial treatment of hydrogen- or methane-predominant SIBO.
As part of your treatment, we recommend following a FODMAP (low fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols) diet and consulting with a nutritionist.
What are SIBO risk factors?
Structural or anatomic abnormalities may affect normal movement of the small intestine (motility). Stasis, or lack of movement, can lead to bacterial imbalance. This can occur if you:

have diverticulosis — tiny bulging pouches (diverticula) in the small intestine
had surgery that changed the small intestine’s structure, such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, or surgery on the right colon with removal of the ileocecal valve, or surgery on the last part of the small bowel.
have adhesions (scar tissue) that developed after radiation therapy or after multiple abdominal surgeries
have amyloidosis (a buildup of amyloid protein deposits) — deposits can accumulate in the small intestine and change its structure
Use of certain medications could be linked to SIBO. These include:

narcotic medications
anti-spasm medications for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), such as hyoscyamine or dicyclomine
long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) — medications that decrease acid in the stomach to control heartburn
frequent use of antibiotics, which may alter the bacteria in the small bowel

Thanks. Looks like double antibiotics with diet may be my cure. 16 years I am ready for it.
