Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO): Diagnosis and Treatment - Dr. Jason Nasser
SIBO is a common condition that causes symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and even malnutrition. The human body contains trillions of microbes that live with us in harmony. Normally, our small intestine has few microbes relative to the large intestine. In small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO, the delicate balance is disrupted by a disproportionate overgrowth of certain bacteria in the small intestine. In this talk, we discussed what we can do to know if someone has SIBO as well as what treatment options can be offered to resolve it.
