Sibo and abx

I already have a screwed up gut. It got way better with diet change, ginger, bentonite clay , rifaximin etc. Now I'm bk on abx. I am feeling that dreadful hard nausea so bad now I almost forgot what it felt like to wake up everyday and not even have an appetite smh. My llmd said it may stay the same or possibly get a little worse for my sibo while on abx (like if I needed to be told that, aren't we all aware lol?) Has anyone successful kept their sibo and gut in check at least while on abx ? I'm thinking take probiotics but sometimes they even make sibo worse, bt then on the other hand I'm on abx so not taking and probiotics at all is bound to be a disaster. Has anyone knew that they had sibo already and went ahead and started abx anyway because they didn't have a choice like me??

yeah i was iv zith and rocephin it was challenging to say the least . good news its mostly gram neg overgrowth and candida that get outta hand as long as one doesn't have protozoal or helminith passengers. that new rifampix only stays in gut and works well as short after course . nystatin was a must , diflucan on off days , ooo occasionally to hit gram neg and i had to take lots of alinia for giardia .

as far as pbx 100billion a day no longer cut it ! i had to get a script for vsl3 900billion satchels; making kombucha and taking s. boulardi helped bunches . slippery elm and marshmallow root while gut was leaky and healing... c diff is no joke so stay vigilant: keep us posted

I'm going to try all the things you just suggested! Probiotics aren't enough for me so I take double doses of probiotics sometimes

I'm not sure if anything here will be helpful, but it's worth perusing:
