What is SIBO?

Typically, the small intestine is far less populated with bacteria than the large intestine. SIBO occurs when bacteria which normally reside in the large intestine, migrate into the small intestine. This can occur due to structural and/or functional changes in the gastrointestinal tract which result in colonic bacteria invading the small intestine. Symptoms of SIBO include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, reflux, weight loss, fatigue and nutritional deficiencies.

How do you test if you have SIBO?

You can test if you have SIBO by undertaking a simple and non-invasive breath hydrogen and methane breath test [1].  The glucose breath test is currently used for the diagnosis of SIBO. Want to know more about breath testing? Visit the Stream Diagnostics website.
