A member asked:

If i had sibo for 4 years could it have damaged my liver? i noticed i have developed some puffiness about my nipples and blood sugar issues. recently i have been prescribed xifaxan, i am starting it soon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I'm not aware of liver complications, but untreated long term sibo can lead to malnutrition because of malabsorption of nutrients. Also various intestinal uncomfortable symptoms are a problem. I don't think that your nipple or blood sugar issues are related to sibo. Gastroenterologists have more experience with sibo than other clinicians.
