A member asked:
Gas + abdominal bloating (come and go for 2 years) + no abnomalies in ctscan or blood tests, what should i do? could be caused by bacteria or parasit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consider SIBO: Chronic excess gas production and bloating could represent Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Patients with IBS may also suffer from SIBO. In my practice, I occasionally check for SIBO in patients with IBS and severe gas that are not responding well to a FODMAP diet and other traditional IBS treatments.
