So I've struggled with insomnia since February after taking a round of Penecillin. (See: here) It has gotten much better since covid restrictions lifting and being able to hang out with my friends more and all that. I still deal with a night or two here and there of not sleeping though and that is very demoralizing.
I did a SIBO breath test and found that I had a 25 score (mild case) for Methane dominant SIBO. The doctor put me on a 2 week dose of Rifaximin/Neomycin. During that time I had hella liquid poop and developed a ringing in my ears that hasn't gone away. 1 week after I test to see if it is still there or not. Not only is the methane SIBO still there, but it is literally a 26 score now (worse). The naturo wanted me to go on low fodmaps diet during the course to starve it out, but I declined to do so cause... you know... Peat.
I'm in a position where I am feeling pretty demoralized as rifax/neomycin seems like the "most effective" treatment for methane dominant SIBO and it didn't even make a scratch. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
