I was on the bactrim for a month to treat the recurring UTI. And I did fail the hydrogen breath test.  My SIBO was awful as I thought my BMs smelled like horse manure. 😲

Now it’s a year later and I have not had another UTI or return of SIBO since.

I am assuming a short course of Bactrim would not work, but augmentin is a no go for me. Post takedown redo, it wrecked my pouch function and I thought my intestines were exploding. 😣

What you are saying is really fascinating. If you failed a hydrogen breath test I am even more sure it possibly could be hydrogen sulfide sibo. It often looks like a flatline on the breath test for hydrogen.

Hopefully I can tolerate the augmentin better than you haha. Did you tolerate the bactrim fine, I think bactrim and augmentin are prettt similar in that they both are broad spectrum antibiotics?



very glad to hear that you problems went away. Hopefully augmemtin will do the same for that bactrim did for you
