Reply to "SIBO"

You are attributing a cause-effect relationship between Cipro and SIBO, based on what exactly? Cipro is an antibiotic which kills bacteria and could throw bacterial balance off. It could be a cause, BUT, SIBO is usually caused by one of two things (1) slow transit time caused by bowel slowers like Imodium or opioid pain meds, and/or lack of fiber in diet; or (2) too much sugar and carbs. Best way to deal with SIBO is increase fiber and decrease sugar and carbs. If you are taking bowel slowers or other meds that decrease transit time, stop them. 

If the Cipro played some role it could be as much because of slowing transit time down in conjunction with other meds, which some antibiotics do.
