Nausea and fatigue almost all day

@itarachiu,

We are supposed to have beneficial bacteria in our intestines.  

Rifaximin has been shown in early studies to promote the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria.  You may want to consider taking a probiotic and continue taking B Complex vitamins as Rifaximin can cause vitamin deficiencies.  

So glad you are seeing improvement!

The microbial density increases from the stomach to the rectum (Figure 1), with low densities in the small intestine.

Not really sterile, my mistake. I think I heard that to Dr. Mark Pimentel on YouTube, he is researching SIBO and all that stuff.

I tried probiotics(powder) before antibiotics, they pretty much did nothing however before probiotics(powder) I tried for a month to drink kefir(milk) and it really improved my digestion, specially better digestion for the first meal in the morning but nothing more. Now my plan is to use rounds of 10 days on antibiotics + herbs and then 5 days of probiotics(as powder) and kefir(milk) but without anbiotics. Taking antibiotics and probiotics in the same time I think is useless. I will do this for a few months at least, what I do know is the fact that is working.

Yes, @itarachiu, taking antibiotics and probiotics together is rather useless.  However, since Rifaximin promotes the good bacteria naturally in the intestines, boosting those with a probiotic containing good bacteria like Lactobacillis should still be beneficial. 

Finishing the antibiotics first, then follow up with probiotics is a good plan, too.

Hey @itarachiu, Have you investigated any other Biofilm disruptor other than NAC?

Not yet, I'm pretty happy with for the moment with this one. I guess it's working because I do feel better.
