Rifaximin for Diarrhea Reviews
Xifaxan (rifaximin) "I wish Xifaxan wasn't so expensive because it has changed my life. I noticed a huge change in the range of foods that I could eat, and the level of chronic pain and diarrhea I was having after taking a full course (which left me broke)."
Xifaxan (rifaximin) "I have been battling diarrhea for over 10 years. My GI doctor prescribed Asacol, VSL#3, and Xifaxan. I took all in combination and had almost instant relief. Then I stopped taking the prescribed drugs for 6 weeks, and the symptoms started to return. I resumed taking VSL#3 and Asacol with mediocre results. I then added Xifaxan, and my bowel movements returned to normal. I wonder how long and how frequently I will have to take this drug before I am permanently cured of this condition."
Xifaxan (rifaximin) "I have had a weight loss surgery called Duodenal Switch which requires antibiotics periodically for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Xifaxan is the only thing that works for me months until another flare. I thank God my GI prescribed it. "
Xifaxan (rifaximin) "I wish it didn't have to be so expensive. It gave me instant relief."
"I had Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). By day 14 I was back to normal. Hope it does not come back!"
"This gave me even worse diarrhea than I had before it took almost a full 3 weeks for it to stop. It was seriously horrible."
