A member asked:
Breath test positive for sibo. have tried xifaxan, (rifaximin) doxycycline and metronidazole. symptoms (stomach pain and bloating) continue. suggestions?

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.
