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. 😣

I do see a lot of people doing well on augmentin here in the forum, but I guess it’s just really individual? Probably a lot to do with which bacteria is in your intestines. Rifaximin is supposed to be super safe, and it made me feel super exhausted and gave me diarrhea so idk. According to a stool test showing Staphylococcus Aureus overgrowth in my small intestine I believe Augmentin could be something that could work. I have tried rifaximin, metranidazol (helped a tiny bit) and next is augmentin.
