Many people suffer from gut problems, and they can lead to serious health issues when left untreated.
Attention to SIBO should be a top priority as not doing so can lead to serious health problems. It's also important to take note of any symptoms and seek experienced Functional Medicine doctor support if necessary.
Inflammation of the small intestine can occur because of an overgrowth of bacteria in the gut. We all have trillions of bacteria living in our gut and these play a vital part in our health and wellbeing. Some bacteria help us, while others can sometimes cause defects like digestive conditions. Bacteria can grow too much when underlying conditions cause them to get out of control. This overly large amount of bacteria is referred to as SIBO and it's typically the root cause for many types of digestive problems.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth is an overgrowth of the bad bacteria mostly found in the small intestine. It is very important to properly identify whether or not you have SIBO before taking steps to fix it because sometimes people mistake their gut issue for SIBO.

A lot of people seem to think that their guts contain almost no bacteria. However, the truth is there are trillions of these tiny organisms living in their digestive system, and we need a healthy balance of the good and bad ones.

Once your doctor understands the cause of SIBO then he can help you come up with a treatment plan that will work best for you.

Testing such as the Hydrogen and Methane Breath Test (HBT) can now be performed to confirm if you have SIBO.
Having any of the breath tests, which are more sensitive than lactose-based testing, can detect SIBO.

It's important to pinpoint the trigger for your SIBO. It could be any number of reasons but it is crucial that you address the underlying problem. Doctors really should know these signs about SIBO triggers, because for long-lasting relief of SIBO these triggers need to be identified and removed.
If we don't address the underlying triggers then chances are high that you will get SIBO back soon again. I have seen patients who came back for a follow-up because their symptoms returned. It sounds like the issue wasn't fully resolved, which may have been why they needed help again.
