Are Some IBS Patients Suffering from Bartonella?

Many IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), patients were shown to be "cured," following treatment with a Rifamycin like drug (Rifaximin).

Bartonella infection can cause a host of gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, reflux, diarrhea and generalized bowel upset. It can often be difficult to distinguish Bartonella die-off from antibiotic associated side effects.
