Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when there is an abnormal increase in the number of unhealthy bacteria in the small intestine. Normally, the small intestine contains a balanced population of healthy bacteria that not only produce natural antimicrobials, but also aid in absorption and production of various nutrients, enzymes, hormones etc. thereby influencing vital health functions. However, in SIBO, the balance is disrupted, by the invasion of bacteria that primarily reside in the large intestine and which are not meant to be in the small intestine. This leads to an overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria in the small intestine which may be the root cause of the disease that you are dealing with.
If you’re dealing with constipation, diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain, food sensitivity or allergies, repetitive infections or repetitive sickness, Diabetes, Hypothyroidism, Fatty Liver, Gallstones, Irritable Bowel Syndrome/Irritable Bowel Disease (IBS/IBD), Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, H pylori, Diverticulitis, Neurodegenerative Conditions like Parkinson’s, Dementia, Alzheimer’s disease etc. Skin Disorders like Acne, Psoriasis, Eczema, Rosacea, Urticaria, Dermatitis, Fungal infections/Candida infections etc. Autoimmune Disorders like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Scleroderma etc. you may be having SIBO.
