A member asked:
Breath test says positive for sibo, but my only symptom is post-prandial chest discomfort and muscle twitching. should i still take xifaxin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SIBO: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth can occur as a complication of numerous conditions. Without having seen and examined and tested you there is no way to determine whether the therapy you have been prescribed by another doctor is correct or not. If you are not confident in your doctor's diagnosis, go and get a second opinion from someone who can evaluate you face to face. Good luck.
