Insurance Denied Xifaxan

After over a decade of suffering, I finally got the diagnosis of SIBO.

I’m at a loss right now and feeling hopeless. My insurance will not cover Xifaxan and I cannot get assistance from the company that makes it, because insurance has to cover at least a portion of it.

My doctor said now we have to treat it with a less effective medication. Doxycycline, Cipro or Bactrim. Is it even worth it or am I just going to be wasting more time and money on a treatment that doesn’t work?
