Default New medication and its non-medical ingredients

So I was given a prescription for a new medication by my GI and I'm not sure I want to take it because of the non-medical ingredients, so I thought I'd ask you all what you think. Mrs.D (and anyone else with knowledge about this), I would particularly appreciate your input. I plan to do some research myself. Some of them are of course ones we all know about given the supplements we take.

They are: colloidal silicon dioxide, glyceryl distearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, red iron oxide, sodium starch glycolate, talc, and titanium dioxide. It's the antibiotic Rifaximin.

Thank you in advance.
