Microba (advanced microbiome testing) is recommended for investigating downstream symptoms in the large intestine, but to rule out small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), a breath test may be required.
SIBO often shows up as bloating, abdominal pain or discomfort, fullness, reflux and bad breath.
The small intestine normally carries a very low bacterial load. When digestion in the stomach or the motility processes that keep things moving get disrupted, bacteria can build up where they shouldn't and start fermenting food too early. That excess gas is what drives the bloating, pain, reflux and bad breath.
SIBO commonly follows periods of stress, a bout of gastroenteritis or chronic snacking habits.
Once we identify the type of SIBO, we can put the right treatment in place to address the overgrowth and get your digestion working the way it should.
