Hi forum!
I'm posting a lot recently but just trying to figure out the best routes to take based on other people experience
My test results indicated that I have a much to high level of Bacteroides in my gut - making up something like 45% of my flora when its meant to be lower than 10%. Has anyone else had levels like this and successfully managed to get them down with targeted antibiotics or anti-microbals? and if so which ones did the job? i have tried rifaximin with no luck, and KDM wants to put me on clindamycin in a pulsed one week a month manner. From everything I've read bacteroides are rather hard to treat so it would be great to hear from someone with knowledge of how to treat these buggers. KDM thinks that it is due to these high levels that I have such extreme food sensitivities, and that by correcting this my symptoms may improve
