Yeah, it sounds like we are going through a similar form of hell. How long have you been dealing with this?

2 years November this November after taking cipro. But only took the antibiotic 5/6 months ago. I dropped from 240 to 142 in the time beforehand (75 pounds first 45 days) and after the antibiotic and the bread I'm back to 180 and feeling better each week.

How long have you had this?

Wow, good job on the weight loss though. I've had this for years too but it's gotten worse. Or I've also become somewhat lactose intolerant. I always feel great when fasting (which I do regularly for weight reasons) but within 30 minutes of breaker ng the fast I'm burping again. Even fasting for like a week didn't seem to starve them at all.

I saw an article somewhere bthat said xifaxan should be taken for six weeks! So I'll probably try that next.

Oh also, weed edibles basically stop all stomach grumbling for me but they make me drowsy. IDK if they help kill the ... overgrowth though.

Seeing as you are at the point that you are looking for black market antibiotics, have you tried Kratom? Did it help? If you havent heard of it before, I should however warn you about the addiction potential.
