Reply to "Switched from Cipro to Xifaxan......night time incontinence issue"

Update: I wanted to give an update in case it may help others trying Xifaxan/Rifaximin.

It seems my gut was just adjusting to the Xifaxan. I took one capsule one time of the psylllium husk. Nightmare constipation, which is never my issue. Cipro and Flagyl have offered welcome levels of constipation, given I usually have the reverse issue. I was also having stomach aches during the first weeks of Xifaxan (during the higher load dose). As my body adjusted and the dose was reduced, the stomach aches stopped. I do not have constipation or incontinence (as long as I stay hydrated). I no longer take Imodium and rarely Gas X, where I used to take both regularly.

It isn't perfect, but I am definitely feeling fewer symptoms. I'm only into the second month on Xifaxan, so an endoscopy down the road will tell how things look.
