Hi Diana. I believe Rifampin can cause weight loss, I don't know if Bartonella can.

I have been reading Dr. S in Florida feels that Bartonella causes weight gain and proper treatment reduces weight back to normal. I have not had enough Bart treatment yet but am definitely in the group that has gained alot since Bartonella has become top dog over Lyme or Babs. in the last 5 months.
