OK, thanks.
Here are TWO points I want to make.
1)
-Tested in July, found I have bacterial overgrowth
-Given Rifaxamin for 10 days
-No Progress
-Afterwords, resumed acidophillus, and prescribed Miralax.
Questions:
-Does this mean I have SIBO?
-What should I be treated for, SIBO, IBS?
-Was I treated correctly, when the Rifaxamin didn't work, should I have been given other drugs besides Miralax?
-The doctor is now thinking of giving me Zelnorm.
-Is Zelnorm/Miralax the right approach
or neomycicn, Levaquin, Cipro, Flagyl the course to follow?
2) My nutrionist has suggested I be treated with 2-3 days worth of antifungal, the way we do for women with "candida". How would you feel about 2-3 days worth of Fluconazole or Ketokonazole?
-I am VERY confused.
-What do I have? IBS, SIBO, Candida, or do have 2 or all simulateaneously?
-Judging by my symptoms and responses, what do YOU think I have and what do you think the best treatment approach is?
-IBS, acupuncture?
-Or Candida/SIBO with anti-biotics, and if so, why did Xifaxan fail?
-How do you test for Canidida?
DUde, this is SO furstrating and confusing.
Why can't the doctors tell me straight up WHAT I have and How to treat it, and why prior attempts HAVE failed?
What do I have and what do I do?
