The Xifaxan was my 2nd round of antibiotic. I was breath tested after the Xifaxan and had normal H2 levels. SIBO gone. Bloating and cramping and mega gas gone as well. I don’t think the SIBO is back. Recently had biopsy for H pylori which was negative. Nausea and burning gnawing sensation is what k...

I get my first shot today. I had the same anxiety as you about the vaccine affecting my gut issue. Everything I can find indicates that the vaccine should not impact most underlying conditions. I have a friend who has pulmonary fibrosis. she got the shot and is doing fine. My sister-in-law has allergies... -

I was put on PPIs back in 2003 when I had H pylori and esophagitis (GERD). Nausea at the time was not an issue. I was kept of PPIs for the GERD and gastritis which became less of an issue with time.

Thanks Posterboy for the comments and links. I know I’m driving my GI doc nuts by bugging him to figure this out. Maybe that’s an impossibility. Night before last I was awake all night with terrible nausea cramping and gas. I was convinced my SIBO was back. Last night I slept a continuous 7 hours and...
