A few yrs ago i took rifaximin to treat bacterial overgrowth, i supplemented during & after with intensive probiotics & s.boulardii and had very good results for a while after. my stools and bowel function normalized. so i tried a 2nd course a little over a month ago and unfortunately i didnt have the same results. ever since i have been experiencing severe bloating and gas and i cant get rid of it. im spending a week with my girlfriend in Paris starting this sunday and i really dont wanna be gassy & bloated the whole time. anyone know what i can do? ive been taking some herbal antimicrobials, aloe vera juice but they only work for a while and as soon as i stop the bloating returns. Also probiotics dont seem to be doing the trick. Also on my last night of the 2nd course of Antibiotics i drank WAY too much alcohol and was sick the next day so not sure if that messed me up; not the best judgement on my part but it was a wild fun party..LOL. would appreciate any help on this since it is time sensitive and my trip is in 5 days- thanks.
PS. whats also interesting is the symptoms are on and off...meaning 1 day im fine then the next day gassy/bloated, next day fine, day after bloated...f'n weird
