Question about the MMC and drinking

I've recently had a round of rifaximin and metronidazole and am enjoying being able to eat way more foods than before. I'm trying as best I can to keep my lifestyle healthy and prevent SIBO from getting worse again.

I've heard that the 'clean sweep' the MMC does needs a 3-4 hour gap between meals, so I space my meals and don't snack. However, I've started being able to drink tea again (yay!) with oat milk and sugar. Would this count as a 'snack' and should I avoid having this between meals?

I also have POTS and drink watered down lucozade all the time to keep me hydrated and with a bit of sugar and electrolytes. Should I switch to just water so the MMC works better?
