Did You Know What SIBO Is?
SIBO, or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, is a common condition in the digestive system that, if left untreated, can significantly reduce the quality of life. As a dietitian, I frequently emphasize that nutrition plays a crucial role in treating SIBO. SIBO occurs when bacteria that are either not supposed to be present or are normally present in small numbers in the small intestine, grow excessively in this region. This can lead to symptoms like bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation.
