What Is SIBO?
SIBO is a syndrome of symptoms that occurs when too many bacteria are in the small intestine. The natural intestinal flora in a healthy person is also rich in microorganisms, but they are usually most abundant in the large intestine. In contrast, excessive microorganisms in the small intestine can be harmful. Bacterial overgrowth syndrome most often affects people with gastrointestinal tract abnormalities and chronic diseases.
