Would Not Be Without It!
I've had three battles with SIBO in the past 20 years. Last year, in hopes of avoiding an antibiotic, I tried all sorts of "natural" remedies--various diets, yogurts, and probiotics. My quest went on for months. Finally, I gave up and asked my primary care physician for a prescription for Rifaximin. Although she is always reluctant to prescribe an antibiotic, she said she would if I would 1)stop loading myself with the yogurt and probiotics that were no longer working (and possibly making things worse), and 2)conduct some research to find a good probiotic blend to start taking immediately after I finished the course of Rifaximin. I discovered a number of great reviews of Amy Myers MD Primal Earth Probiotic in conversations on online forums, so I decided to order a bottle from Vitacost. (More recently, I discovered that I could order it directly from the Amy Myers website.) I have had no side effects and thus far I feel wonderful--lots of energy and minimal (if any) gut issues. I am convinced that this soil-based probiotic blend is exactly what I need. I have shared my success with my physician.
