Well, I can answer that in two or three ways, but I'll try to touch on a little bit of each. We looked at rifaximin before and after treatment, the small bowel. And when you get rid of the bullies in the town, all the inhabitants of the town come back. So it goes opposite of what people think. We're not, you know, being cataclysmic. It's getting rid of the E. coli and the Klebsiella and SIBO.

That allows the regular bacteria to reflourish, repopulate and take over again for a period of time. But remember, the problem is those cleaning waves are not working. So it is possibly going to come back. It depends how badly damaged. And that's where that antibody comes in.

Because if the antivinculin, which is that autoantibody for the autoimmune disease of IBS, is very high, the neuropathy is more high or more intense, and you're going to relapse or reoccur more frequently. So that's where we're able to have some further strategy. But first of all, take the antibiotics. They actually repopulate the town counter to what you think.

We've never seen antibiotic resistance to Rifaximin so far, knock on wood. It's a very unique chemical drug. And then we get them on the low fermentation eating diet. That's what we do. And for those where the antibodies high or those who relapse, we do put them on a prokinetic. So they space their meals. Everything's going right.

But we want to stimulate those cleaning waves at nighttime because that's the longest time you're not eating and make you clean up as much as possible at night so that the bacteria don't have a chance to come back. So we don't do all three things for everybody. It depends on, you know, if somebody relapses in two years, we don't need to put them on a drug every day to prevent.

But if they relapse every three months, then we can stretch it out to a year by adding the prokinetic or doing more aggressive diet strategies.

Brain fog is really a symptom, sort of like cough. Cough can be caused by a cold, bronchitis, pneumonia, post-nasal drip, asthma, a whole bunch of things. You've got to figure out, okay, what's driving it? There is no ICD-10 code for brain fog. You might call it altered mental status, but oftentimes it's transitory. That's the really interesting thing.
