Cures for SIBO: Bacteria and Intestinal Function
Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a chronic digestive ailment in which the number of naturally occuring intestinal bacteria multiplies significantly as a result of a lack of movement in the small intestine. Peristaltic action within the intestines ordinarily sweeps food wastes and excess bacteria toward the colon for excretion. When this mechanism fails or is insufficient, SIBO can result.
Sometimes also called small bowel bacterial overgrowth syndrome or SBBOS, the condition is characterized by symptoms of nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and bloating. Certain other medical conditions can lead to SIBO, including Crohn's Disease, scleroderma, diabetes, and the presence of diverticula.
