"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."

"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 for months until another flare. I thank God my GI prescribed it."

"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)."
