SIBO!!! But fearing taking antibiotics, especially Neomicyn… I’ve heard of terrible side effects ( tinnitus and hearing loss).

Hello, here is my doctor's report: ''The report of your hydrogen and methane breath test is positive, both for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth as well as excessive methane-producing bacteria in the large bowel.

It may be sensible to consider treatment with non-absorbable antibiotics.

If you would like to consider antibiotics, I would suggest a combination of both RIFAXIMIN and NEOMYCIN for a total of 7 days."

Have any of you tried them? Advice? results? THANK YOU> 🙏🙏
