The SIBO breath test identifies the presence of methane and/or hydrogen producing bacteria in the small intestine. This is known as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and is a common disorder that is often at the root of the following symptoms:
– Gas, bloating
– Iron and B12 deficiency
– Sugar and carbohydrate cravings
– Carbohydrate intolerance
– Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
– Weight loss, malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies
– Fibromyalgia
– Leaky gut (intestinal permeability)
– Chronic fatigue syndrome
If bacterial overgrowth has been detected, we can treat the condition and restore optimal gastrointestinal function. This would include the use of natural antimicrobials, probiotics, digestive support and dietary strategies.
