What to do about positive H2S test?

My doctor is about to treat me with antibiotics for bacteria overgrowth in the gut followed by heavy dose pro biotics.

A CDSA showed that I have alot of bad bacteria and have had a positive H2S test.

I will post an update of how I get on as after the treatment of antibiotics as I will get another H2S test and will be interested to see if it makes any difference.

Does anyone know what Dr Meirleir uses as a protocol to fix this issue?

Also has anyone tried enteric coated peppermint oil, I read somewhere this is worth while?

De Meirleir's approach here.
This report is a little dated but still relevant. He doesn't have a one size fits all approach, he treats what he finds. We can have variously different dysbiosis, so will need different antibiotics and probiotics. Some are advised to take VSL#3 while I take S.Boulardii. Some will also take all or some of digestive enzymes, betaine hcl, l glutamine and chlorella etc.
