E246 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi, I haven't been on the site for ages but it was once a life-line. As I have got better from POTs I have got worse from SIBO. I have had two courses of antibiotics but in England you can't get Rifaximin which is the best I understand. Can anyone help me with up to date information as SIBO is debilitating me. I have bloating, pain, burping, and it sets off POTs episodes. After the first course of antibiotics where I took 2 different types at once and then followed a Fodmap diet I eventually became really well. But it has returned. My original breath tests showed an extreme reaction to gluten and fruit but ok with diary. The last in-depth post seems to have been a lot of years ago and so hoping there is more information in the community. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi - my husband suffered for years from SIBO. He got better after a prolonged series of Flagyl and Cipro together followed by probiotics and prebiotics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E246 Posted June 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Thanks Pistol, I am taking a third course of antibiotics (Rifaximin for the first time) and hope this works. Looking back I think a lot of my POTs symptoms are related to SIBO as well. As this got better so did the POTs. I just had a relapse after flu. As I understand it SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) creates lots of toxins in the body and I think may have played a big part in my POTs symptoms. Just wondering if anyone else thinks along the same lines or had similar problems. Thank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
