Need help with gut flora imbalance

I’ve just finished TMP for my third lot of SIBO. insurance won’t cover xifaxan. Taking probiotics as suggested by my Dr. I don’t know what else to do !

I believe MonstouslyWitty is correct — SIBO! Be forewarned, it can be recurring.

If you do have SIBO from what it sounds like you are describing, an antibiotic course of Rifaximin and/or neomycin (additionally needed for methane SIBO) will usually do the trick for at least some time. Also, key is to keep your gut motility running smoothly using pro-kinetic agents (natural ones work such as ginger tea), mild to moderate aerobic exercise and avoiding sugar (particularly sucrose) a all costs.

A gastroenterologist, especially one who works with SIBO.

OMG!!!! I’m going through the EXACT same thing right now! WOW!! I have an appt w/my GP tmrw & plan to mention it. Although, I’m sure she’s going to defer to a GI’s recommendation (& rightfully so). I’ve done extensive research and truly believe that a Fecal Transplant (as close to the appendix as possible) would make ALL the difference! I’ll keep you posted if I find out someone who does this procedure.
