SIBO: or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth remains a poorly understood disease. Symptoms vary ranging from very mild to chronic diarrhea, weight loss and malabsorption. Overlap with other conditions including motility disorders and irritable bowel syndrome is likely. The optimal treatment regimen remains elusive. Antibiotics are imperfect. Partner with a skilled Gastroenterologist to optimize.
