A member asked:
I've been reading some people with sibo don't make enough stomach acid, so you don't kill bacteria from foods you eat as well. true?

SIBO: That is possible, but not the entire story. You need to read about this on the net and/or discuss it with the doctor seeing you. Patients with bacterial overgrowth typically have symptoms of nausea, bloating, vomiting, diarrhea, malnutrition, weight loss and malabsorption which is caused by a number of mechanisms too complex to discuss here.
