Will any antibiotic do for SIBO or just Rifaximin?

    Hey, I have taken amoxicillin & azithromycin in the past 2 years. I was wondering if they would have effectively taken care of SIBO as they are broad spectrum or if just the Rifaximin is effective. Or if Rifaiximin is just used because it stays in the gut.

    Thanks.

    I think broad-spectrum antibiotics work but Rifaximin is preferred because of less side effects. Also, I think SIBO might come back if you don't fix your diet.

    https://www.siboinfo.com/antibiotics.html is a good source for SIBO
