Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a condition where excessive bacteria grow in the small intestine, an area of the gut that normally has much fewer bacteria than the large intestine.
Common Symptoms of SIBO:
- Malabsorption (leading to deficiencies like B12, iron, or fat-soluble vitamins)
- Bloating and gas
- Abdominal pain or discomfort
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Nausea
- Unintentional weight loss
- Fatigue
