Will xifaxan 550 mg treat bad breath acid reflux/gut? i was prescribed this from gi doctor was diagnosed was gastritis but doctor wouldnt listen to me about the bad breath then just said to try this and said goodbye. so im weary about it?

Xfaxan: Xifaxan is a poorly absorbed antibiotic used to treat travellers diarrhea caused by E Coli bacteria, irritable bowel syndrome & impending liver coma. I doubt efficacy for acid reflux or for bad breath. The latter is helped by chewing gum,ducking on hard candy & avoiding certain foods like onions and garlic. Treat gastritis with bland diet, avoiding caffeine, alcohol,aspirin,& taking acid blockers

Halitosis: Bad breath can be caused by many different factors, including sinus infections, periodontal problems, smoking, cavities, acid reflux, and your diet. Address all of these possibilities with your dentist and physician, and I'm confident that your problem will at least be minimized, and hopefully eradicated.
