What is SIBO, i.e. small intestinal bacterial overgrowth?

Added:2022-09-30

SIBO ( Small Intestinal Bacterial O vergrowth ), i.e. small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, is a set of clinical symptoms of the gastrointestinal tract resulting from the presence of an excessive number of bacteria in the small intestine. Normally, most bacteria inhabit the large intestine. When they move to the small intestine, the balance of the microbiota is disturbed and intestinal problems occur.

IMO ( I ntestinal M ethanogen O vergrowth) is a syndrome of methanogen growth in the small intestine. It differs from SIBO by microorganisms present in the intestine, in this case we are talking about methanogens belonging to archaea.

Symptoms of SIBO

The most common symptom of SIBO is flatulence, but abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, constipation, weight loss, abdominal discomfort, nutritional deficiencies, anemia, and steatorrhea (difficult to flush, smelly) may also occur. Sometimes bacterial overgrowth can lead to food poisoning, tetanus and even sepsis.

Causes of SIBO

- intestinal motility disorders,
- anatomical defects of the small intestine, e.g. postoperative
- diseases, including: diabetes, liver cirrhosis,
- chronic diseases, e.g. celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome,
- organ dysfunctions, including: kidney failure,
- immune disorders,
- deficiency of hydrochloric acid in the stomach (achlorhydria),
- long-term use of drugs (mainly those that inhibit the secretion of hydrochloric acid)
- alcohol and drug abuse
- old age.

Can taking probiotics result in SIBO? The answer is simple, probiotics do NOT cause bacterial overgrowth in the intestine. SIBO is a disease. If we choose good probiotic bacteria, they will support the intestinal microflora, help to displace pathogenic microorganisms and thus help maintain a healthy intestinal balance.

SIBO diagnosis

The basic, non-invasive test for SIBO is the hydrogen breath test with glucose or lactulose. It is based on the presence of hydrogen or methane in the exhaled air.
Other tests performed when SIBO is suspected are laboratory tests. The level of vitamins and minerals is checked (mainly important in this case are the levels of vitamin B12, vitamin K, folic acid and anemia). Blood and stool are tested. Additionally, radioscopic, endoscopic and histopathological examinations are performed.


Types of SIBO

We can distinguish several types of intestinal hyperplasia:
1. Hydrogen – this type is characterized by diarrhea.
2. Methane - constipation, sharp pain and cramps predominate here.
3. Hydrogen sulfide - manifested by irregular bowel movements ranging from diarrhea to constipation.
4. Mixed - in this case, the symptoms are mixed, both constipation and diarrhea occur.


Probiotics and SIBO

The discussion about the use of probiotic therapy in the fight against SIBO is fierce. One thing is certain, you should pay attention to the selection of appropriate products, consult a specialist, and above all, remember that each body is different and requires an individual approach.
