Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth: Clinical Features and Therapeutic Management
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a common, yet underrecognized, problem. Its prevalence is unknown
because SIBO requires diagnostic testing. Although abdominal bloating, gas, distension, and diarrhea are common
symptoms, they do not predict positive diagnosis. Predisposing factors include proton-pump inhibitors, opioids, gastric bypass, colectomy, and dysmotility. Small bowel aspirate/culture with growth of 103–105 cfu/mL is generally accepted as the “best diagnostic method,” but it ...

Diet and intestinal bacterial overgrowth: Is there evidence?
Abstract
The intestinal microbiota and its role in health and disease processes have been the subject of several studies. It is known that changes in the intestinal microbiota occur due to several factors, such as the use of medication, age, lifestyle and diseases, which can modify intestinal homeostasis and lead to excessive growth of bacteria in the small intestine, triggering a clinical condition called small bowel bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Individuals with SIBO may present gastrointestinal symptoms ranging from nausea, ...
