Re: Let's hope ...       03/01/11 08:13 AM Edit Reply Quote capricorn1942 Reged: 10/06/03 Posts: 248 I don't know about Canada, but in the US, politicians seem to get involved whenever large sums of dollars are at stake. But in this case by politics I mean the IBS community exercising their influence en mass with the FDA - similar to writing a letter to a congressman about other issues of concern. By the way, Rifaxamin is not currently approved by the FDA for either SIBO or for IBS-D (single treatment or not). A Dr. can prescribe it, but insurance will not pay. When I had it (for 4 weeks) in 2006 for SIBO it cost about $220 for each 2 week period - total $440. It did not help but did not seem to do any harm either. It did not eradicate my SIBO either.
