WHAT IS SIBO?

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is an excess of bacteria found in the small intestine. Proper digestion and absorption of nutrients take place in the small intestine. When the environment in the small intestine is disturbed with an overgrowth of bacteria, usually due to the migration of bacteria from the large intestine, our digestive process is compromised and can lead to a host of health issues you may be experiencing right now. Interestingly, studies have indicated that potentially up to 80% of patients with IBS may, in fact, have SIBO.
