What diagnosis should we ask for when getting our doctor to prescribe Rifaximin?
Rifaximin is used for bacterial overgrowth and has different clinical names. In liver disease, it’s called hepatic encephalopathy, in gastroenterology, it’s called IBS with diarrhea, in the hospital, it’s called Clostridium difficle enterocolitis. Rifaximin can successfully treat all these different forms of bacterial overgrowth. You should make an appeal to your doctor by saying more recent evidence suggests bacterial overgrowth is also responsible for the development of autism, and since it is not absorbed into the bloodstream, it would be very safe to try.
