Question 1

Can any of the ingredients of the protocol trigger a rash?

Accepted Answer

Potential any food item can trigger an allergic reaction resulting in a rash, but it is very, very uncommon for inulin, fish oil, olive oil, or rifaximin to cause such a reaction. If something like this does occur, it is typically not from an allergic reaction per se but from leaky gut due to inadequate control of bacterial overgrowth.nnIf this occurs to one of my patients, I consider switching from inulin to monthly rifaximin.  If they are on monthly rifaximin, I would suggest increasing it up to continuous rifaximin.
