Rifaximin: Side effects include bloating, gas, stomach pain, feeling like you need to empty your bowel urgently, feeling like your bowel is not completely empty, nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, dizziness and feeling fatigued. These are usually mild, less common and tolerable, but if they persist and are bothering you contact your prescribing doctor. Good luck.
