Detailed Answer:
Warm Welcome. I appreciate your trust in HCM and assure you are on best portal on the globe for expert online medical services.
I have thoroughly reviewed health query you raised, and well realize all of those concerns. Being your physician, I will take care all of them today and will extend my expertise to solve the problems.
I feel sorry for the health issues you have. It is very awful experience indeed.
I will advise you to take a course of probiotic and prebiotic, available in combination. They will help in restoring normal flora of bacteria in your gastrointestinal tract which is disturbed due to repeat intake of antibiotics
Avoid food that causes problem for a while
Take tablet Rifaximin, it will also help in restoring normal flora of the digestive tract. It is not absorbed systemically and acts in digestive tract so useful and different from rest of the antibiotics. Take rifaximin at least for 2 weeks
Discuss with your doctor regarding these medicines and get prescription
Hope I addressed all the concerns you have. Let me know if you have further questions. I will be more than happy to clear any doubts
Wish you a good health


Kindly elaborate your line of treatment. You have again advised an antibiotic! What is your assessment of medicines that I have already consumed & kindly let me know your diagnosis for which you've advised "Rifaximin"
Please note, I can't go to a doc here with your prescription & pay his consultation fee & ask him to write a prescription as per your advise. Hence need elaborate solution from you & a prescription. I've already made Rs. 599 for a dependable consultation. I am not understanding your line of treatment. Please elaborate.
Take rifaximin and probiotic
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back
Recurrent diarrhoea do occur when the normal bacteria in our intestine are decreased and abnormal bacteria are increased. This also happen especially when we take repeated course of antibiotics because these antibiotics lead to destruction of normal bacteria in our intestine.
Rifaximin is an antibiotic that acts in intestine only and kills abnormal bacteria and help in restoring normal bacteria in our intestine
Diagnosis is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or antibiotic associated diarrhoea
So both Rifaximin and probiotic as I explained above in previous discussion will help in restoring normal bacterial flora in our intestine.
Tab Rifaximin 400mg thrice a day x 14 days (this medicine is available on prescription only, so you will have to ask your treating doctor to prescribe you this medicine)
Cap probiotic (Econorm containing Saachromycyes boulardii) once a day at least for 1 month or continue with Cap providac that is equally good
Hope I addressed all the concerns you have. Let me know if you have further questions. I will be more than happy to clear any doubts


Just to clarify on my symptoms: After Secnil intake, my gut was only little noisy. Then after Taaxim-o intake, my gut is experiencing valcano like disturbance & I struggle to push the wind out! I have to put extra pressure to put out the wind/ motion. I feel air is locked. Motion is not watery, is semi solid. I feel Taxim-o was a wrong dosage which just created problems rather than solving!
Clearly an imbalance of flora has happened in my gut! As you explain, is it only in the small intestine?
Is Rifaximin same as Rifagut?
I remember last year my gastro doc had advised rifagut, providac & nexpro-rd for 7 days for a similar problem of uneasy motion evacuation & wind lock. Can you please coment on these 3 tabs vs. your advise. Also from your advise I am not clear on the name of probiotic tablet you are advising. (1 bottle of providac comes for 7 days of 2 tablets & costs me Rs.270/-) Is there a similarly effective probiotic which is economical?
Also How can I improve my digestive immunity in the long run? Being a lady, will this (so many doses of antibiotics,..) also affect my bone health as I am already in my 40s?
Also once I start taking medicines as per your advise, if I need to contact you for anything ONLY relating to the medications/ my symptoms/ recovery, how can I do the same without having to again pay Rs.600/-? Obviously if I bounce back to good health I will not be disturbing you. Hence can you share your email id that I can write to & get prompt reply only as a follow up of this consultation.
Dear Doc, since my digestive sensitivities I tend to maintain a diary of my problems & the medications I use. Hence I request you to kindly help me solve all my doubts elaborately. Appreciate your understanding.
Rifaximin is same as Rifagut

Welcome back
Bacteria are present in parts of our gastrointestinal tract. However the most effected are of small intestine.
Rifaximin is same as Rifagut
Rifagut, Providac and Nexpro-Rd is the perfect combination for your symptoms
Providac is also a good probiotic and you can take it. Cheaper probiotics are also available but they will not be effective as they contain different strains of bacteria which are not so helpful in restoring the normal flora
You can improve your immune system by taking fresh fruits daily especially Kiwi, pappaya, strawberries, apple, grapes and blue berries.
Antibiotics have little effect on bones so there is nothing to worry regarding this
Yes you should maintain dairy of your symptoms
Wish you a good health


Last year my gastro doc had prescribed the following:
Rifagut 1-0-1 X 7 days
Providac 1-0-1 X 7 days
Nexpro-Rd 1-0-0 X 10 days
Rifagut 200 mg, Nexpro-rd 20 were the strength of tablets.
Can I use the same prescription for now to treat my issue?
If not request you to clearly mention the exact prescription to go on medication. I'd like to get rid of my abdominal disturbances asap with your electronic prescription.
Thanks
Wish you a good health
