Probiotic supplement with rifaximin for irritable bowel syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a probiotic supplement to the antibiotic rifaximin improves treatment for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), a condition where too many bacteria grow in the small intestine.
