Alright, the trial is up. I just finished my last dose of Xifaxan, AND NOW I AM OFFICIALLY FREAKING OUT.
I feel absolultely hopeless. This 10 day experiment, which was supposed to signifcantly help me with my symptoms, FAILED.
Here is what I did: 1) 1200 mgs a day 2) Benefiber 3 times a day 3) Jarrodophillus 3 times a day 4) This diet
Here is what it was supposed to do: 1) Help with trapped gas, frequent incomplete evacuations, bloating
Here is the result: 1) ZERO relief, in fact feeling slightly WORSE
I have tested positive for a bacterial overgrowth, and am very concerned that this drug did not help. I continue to go to the bathroom six or more times a day without a full release, having trapped gas, and feeling bloated. In fact while making this I went to the bathroom TWICE.
Please look at my diet, it can't be to blame. I took Benefiber and Acidophillus, I did everything right.
I would like to know if there is any hope, or what you people think.
The only thing I can think of is 1) Maybe I need a second trial 2) Maybe I need to go on a liquid diet 3) VSL instead of acidophillus
However the doctor NEVER mentioned any of these and is he is renowed IBS docter. Is all hope lost? Thanks.
