Very long story short, i have Methane SIBO and that is probably what causes my Post Accutane Syndrome. I have pelvic floor dysfunction and related sexual symptoms for over 9 years now.
My Methane SIBO is high, 65 ppm, the maximum range being 10 ppm. My gut microbiome test is not bad, it is on the middle range. And i have no other yeast, fungi or inflammations. Although the test showed low amounts of Akkermansia and Prevotella bacteria but luckily no inflammation so i don't have leaky gut officially i'd say.
Some researcher i have consulted with, recommended me this protocol:
- Rifaximin 550mg 3 times daily for 14 days
Taken together with:
- Partially hydrolyzed guar gum OR Pysillium Husk
- SIBO-targeted probiotics like megasporebiotic or youtheory sporebiotic.
Is this enough to totally erase SIBO, what else should i take?
In the past i tried water fasting 14 days (Only this helped a bit temporarily), and countless leaky gut supplements, pre and probiotics, fiber supplements, gluten free diets, drugs and many other food and supplements. I want to go minimal this time so i can pinpoint what is helping me for real.
Weird thing is that i actually tried Rifaximin before at the same dose and i felt way worse on it, probably due to die off; my OCD and mental health was worse, my sexual symptoms got way worse too; but i took random probiotics with it at that time. So i just hope that this time could be different due to the guar gum and spesific probitotic that im gonna take? Would this work?
Is there anything that i should add to the above protocol to be sure that i can erase Methane SIBO properly in short time?
