What is SIBO?
SIBO or Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth, is an imbalance in the microbiome of the small intestines, essentially there are more bad guys than good guys.
As a result of bacterial overgrowth, people with SIBO often experience significant gas and bloating post meal that can cause abdominal pain. This often will disrupt bowel movements, resulting in diarrhea, constipation, or both.
There are multiple ways SIBO can present, and testing can help us identify the type of SIBO and help direct focused and personalized treatment.
