Gi consult: Would recommend Gi consult. There may be more than 1 reason for your symptoms. Bacterial overgrowth seems to have been addressed. Upper endoscopy with biopsies should be in place.

I took lactulose breathe test and showed i had Sibo. Doc prescribed xifaxan (rifaximin). I heard sibo is likely to reoccur. how can i prevent it from coming back?

For the last three months, I've had bloating after each meal coupled with thinning stool and constipation. I had an endoscopy (normal), colonoscopy (removed 3 pollips), emptying test (normal), and so far one week on Xifaxan for SIBO, no improvement.
