Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) happens when too many bacteria grow in the small intestine, a place where they’re usually few. This imbalance can disrupt digestion and cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms. Though not widely known, SIBO is a treatable condition that often goes undiagnosed.

Causes and Risk Factors
What Fuels the Overgrowth
SIBO can be triggered by anything that slows down gut movement or affects the normal balance of bacteria. Common causes include:
- Long-term use of certain medications (like those to reduce gastric acid).
- Previous abdominal surgery.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
- Diabetes, and conditions that affect the immune or digestive systems.
- Stress and poor diet can also play a role.
