Candida vs. SIBO: Candida is a yeast. SIBO is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and represents an overgrowth of bacteria that should not be found in the small intestines. They both cause abdominal discomfort and digestive issues, but are different.

Fad diagnoses: Both diagnoses are passed out by "independent medical thinkers" without any evidence whatever. Accept either diagnosis, and you will never feel well again. Systemic candida is a myth unless you are gravely sick. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth can't be diagnosed without an aspirate. Both cults encourage people to consider themselves incurably sick and needing intense management. It's bunk.
