wow...Iam speechless after reading this.I am wondering though how flagyl helped him.Flagyl is terrible...well it was for me anyway.When I went on it..which was only 4 days it made my symptoms so much worse.I guess I can see why he would think the probiotics played a role somehow..but I just dont know if they are a "bad" thing.Maybe it could be that the numerous rounds of Antibiotics are what finally cured him.Probiotics are good bacteria...so if anything you would think they wouldnt be effective at all.I do like his idea of glutamine,the extract,and ginger though.I have a 14 day course of xifaxan right now that i am planning on having filled.We'll see how my HBT comes out.If I do have sibo then im goign to follow his protocal but I will take probiotics after treatment i think....
