Ever since I was a kid, doctors prescribed me antibiotics all the time, even when I just had a common cold. I grew up in the Middle East, where this was pretty common, and when I moved to the U.S., I still ended up taking antibiotics pretty often.
Unfortunately, about two years ago I had a really bad GI doctor. I had what seemed like a stomach flu, but without doing much testing, she assumed it was some type of infection and prescribed me antibiotics and a PPI. I actually started feeling worse while taking the antibiotics.
About two months later, I got really sick again and went to the hospital. They gave me a penicillin shot and did a stool test, which came back positive for Blastocystis hominis. I showed the results to my GI doctor, and she prescribed metronidazole. I took it for about 30 days and felt terrible during the treatment.
A couple of weeks later, I tested positive for hydrogen SIBO. I treated it and eventually felt good again.
More recently, I had to get my gallbladder removed. I was actually doing pretty well afterward. Then about a month later, I had an accident at work where a needle went into my hand, so I went to the ER. They put me on PEP medications and doxycycline as a precaution.
The doxycycline really irritated my stomach, and about 15 days later I developed IMO. I treated the IMO, but now I’m wondering why antibiotics seem to mess up my gut so badly.
Has anyone else experienced something similar after years of antibiotic use? Can repeated antibiotics make your gut more sensitive or make you more prone to SIBO/IMO and dysbiosis?
My biggest concern is whether this is something I’m going to deal with for the rest of my life whenever I need antibiotics. Or is it possible to rebuild the gut microbiome and become more resilient over time?
I’d really love to hear from anyone who has gone through something similar, especially if you were able to improve your gut health long-term. Please share your story or anything that helped you.

Did you guys have symptoms even after treating imo/sibo after the meds. Like slight stomach ache or little gas? Please lmk

Hi guys I started noticed that when I stop eating for like 3-4 hours. I started to feel this weird feeling in my stomach and irration and once I eat it kinda goes away. Do you guys have same issue

Hey everyone, 25M here. Ever since I was a kid I’ve dreamed of making amazing pastries and learning Italian and French cooking. Coming from a Middle Eastern family, my parents wanted me to go into finance, medicine, or engineering, so I chose accounting and just graduated. I’ve been thinking about taking one of those 20-week culinary programs to learn pastry and cooking. Do you think it’s worth it if I want to become a private chef or maybe open my own pastry shop/café one day, or is restaurant experience a must first? What advice would you give me if I were your younger brother?

Hey everyone recently had antibiotic and basically I got sibo/imo from it. 2 years ago I had same thing my stupid old Gi doctor gave me bunch of antibiotics when I had flue she thought it was something else and that was when for the first I got sibo for hydrogen. I wanted to know if you guys had similar experience and what did you do after.

My GI doctor thinks I probably have SIBO but we haven’t done a breath test yet, so we don’t know if it’s hydrogen or methane (IMO). He prescribed Candibactin-AR + Candibactin-BR for 30 days. Has anyone here treated hydrogen SIBO or IMO with just AR + BR? Did it work, or did you also add allicin? I already have a 180 mg allicin supplement and I’m wondering if AR + BR are enough or if adding allicin made a difference. Would love to hear your experience.
