alinia, rifaximin, and ribavirin timing

I am about to embark on my retreatment journey at the end of  this week, and am wondering about the timing of meds.  For those of you whom are taking alinia, how do you time your dosage in relation to the riba.  Also, I take xifaxin and lactulose.  Do you think that the dosing schedule for those has any affect on the outcome/sx?

All these meds...  Gonna be harder to keep track of everything this time around.

Are you geno 4 ?  What does it say on the Alinia dosing instructions ? If you take Riba say, 8 in the AM, and 8 in the PM, I would take Alinia mid-day at say 1 or 2 in the PM.  I believe due to absorption issues..  Cory.
