Understanding SIBO and Its Impact

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), also known as bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine (BOSI), is a common condition that disrupts digestion and nutrient absorption. It often causes symptoms such as:

• Bloating
• Gas
• Diarrhea
• Irregular bowel movements
• Abdominal pain

SIBO can also lead to more serious health concerns, including:

• Leaky gut (altered intestinal permeability)
• Carbohydrate intolerance
• Malabsorption and malnutrition
• Weight loss
• Anemia
• Fibromyalgia
• Chronic fatigue
• Osteoporosis

Common causes include Crohn’s disease, adhesions, radiation damage, lymphoma, and reduced production of stomach acid or digestive enzymes. These factors create an environment where bacteria can thrive in the small intestine.

When SIBO Testing Is Recommended

The SIBO breath test is a simple, non-invasive way to detect bacterial overgrowth. It is especially useful for individuals who experience:

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which affects up to 20 percent of the population
• Unexplained abdominal symptoms like gas and bloating
• Difficulty tolerating sweet or starchy foods, fiber, or probiotics

Studies suggest that 50 to 75 percent of IBS cases may actually be caused by SIBO. Testing can help identify the root cause and guide effective treatment.

Benefits of the SIBO Breath Test

The breath test offers valuable clinical insights:

• Confirms the presence of bacterial overgrowth
• Guides treatment strategies involving diet, probiotics, digestive support, and antimicrobials
• Helps reduce symptoms more effectively than many standard IBS treatments
• Can detect SIBO even in patients without obvious digestive symptoms, especially those with chronic constipation, low stomach acid, or poor digestion
