Lil update for everyone! After being prescribed Tetracycline (a strong anti-biotic) for a Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) I have just taken my first one. I'll be honest, I'm really anxious about taking them as they're so strong and my stomach has always been sensitive anyway, without the IBS and SIBO. But needs must i suppose. I'm really hoping it'll go some way to helping me back on my feet. Not expecting it to fix everything for me but here's hoping something will come of it.
Has anybody else had experience with SIBO or Tetracycline before?
Also I've seen quite a few people recently posting about anxiety-induced IBS and wondering how to cope with it - please take a look at my previous posts and especially the replies to other posts as I also suffer from severe anxiety so have written about ways of coping, maybe they can help

I take one Tetralysal 300 every single day (equivalent of 408mg Lymecycline - a tetracycline class antibiotic) for rosacea. I have done for 2 years and I have no side effects except for thrush occasionally. Which one have they given you, and what dose?
