Probiotics With SIBO
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

Hi All,

I am new to this site. I have suffered from IBS-M for years and recently discovered I have SIBO. I am currently taken Xifaxan to help with the SIBO. I am wondering if it is good to take probiotics with SIBO - or even eat yogurt for that matter. One doctor told me yes and another said no.

Hi. I had SIBO too. Xifaxan I took also. Amoxicillin and flagyl work also for parasites. Probiotics can go 2 ways. It can aggravate your gut by producing too much bacteria which then makes gas. Yogurt is helpful but dairy products can aggravate the gut. Best thing to do is fast for a day and allow your gut to repair itself. This was said by Dr Berg online
