SIBO What is it: Small intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when there is an abnormal increase in the overall bacterial population in the small intestine — particularly types of bacteria not commonly found in that part of the digestive tract.

SIBO Treatment: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth Treatment

The mainstay of treatment for SIBO remains antibiotic therapy. Antibiotics reduce or eliminate the bacterial overload and reverse the mucosal inflammation associated with overgrowth and malabsorption. Some authors advocate for the empiric treatment of suspected SIBO without diagnostic testing.

Leaky Gut Sibo

Your body does not absorb fiber; your bacteria feed on the fiber your body can't use. With SIBO, the bacteria are in the small intestine competing with your body for nutrients. This leads to overgrowth of bacteria, gas, bloating and can even cause a leaky gut.
