This is my original post below:

Hey everyone,

So my results are as follows:

H2= Baseline: 12-- 14,8,7,6,5,5,9,14,10

CH4= Baseline: 9--10,8,7,8,7,6,10,11,9

My results said: IMO IS INDICATED w/ POSSIBLE MASKING OF H₂ SIBO

However, my Naturopath is viewing my case as atypical because my Methane didn't react in typical fashion and is suspecting Hydrogen Sulphide.

The initial treatment prescribed is as follows:

NAC x2 daily (30 min before food/meds) - breakfast and dinner (1 month)

Rifaximin 550mg x3 daily (14 days)

Microcidin-AF x 2 caps x2 daily (breakfast/ dinner) (1 month)

Nystatin: 3x daily capsule (1mill unit) ** this is because I have a yeast overgrowth** (1 month)

ANYWAYS: First 8 days of treatment I was like wowww I feel great, felt pretty much perfect which was amazing. Last 2 days I feel like I have gone to baseline (bile, softer stools, lower ab distended, etc).

I am just wondering what I am missing or what I am doing wrong?

I was thinking it may be diet related the last couple days, but my ND said to eat normally and not change anything diet wise.

Would love some advice

*Note there is no prokinetic* I do have ginger+ artichoke caps at home and I could add this at bedtime, but it was not prescribed.

I am just wondering if my protocol is missing anything critical or this is sufficient for the first month.

Hey everyone, just had a question of if I should be taking a prokinetic with my antibiotics day 1 or wait till after rifaximin is done?

Would love to hear what everyone has done and what is usually suggested
