Rifaximin: I guess you're taking Rifaximin for treatment of hepatic encephalopathy. In that case, i would recommend you avoid alcohol and high protein diet.

No food/med interact: This drug has a rapid uptake. Is readily absorbed and metabolized. There are no interactions cited with other medications or foods. If your condition is worsening, consult with your doctor. This could be a sign that you may need another exam, and a different course/type of treatment.
