Re: What is SIBO?       01/28/06 08:55 AM Edit Reply Quote Sand Reged: 12/13/04 Posts: 4490 Loc: West Orange, NJ (IBS-D) Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth. You can do a Search (small bacteria) on all Boards. It's in the Research Library and on the Diet Board. Remember BadlyDrawnBoy - he was treated for this, you can check out what he said. This is different from IBS. Supposedly there are breath tests to test for it - I don't know how reliable they are. I thought you treated it with antibiotics to kill off the bad, then probiotics to replace the good, but there was a post on this in the Chron's Board and I gather there's now some difference of opinion - I don't totally understand it. What I got out of the little I read was that some doctors treat with antibiotics, then probiotics; some doctors treat just with antibiotics; some doctors treat just with probiotics. Sorry - I'm a little vague on this. If I remember correctly the initial study linking IBS to SIBO was pretty flawed, but I remember reading recently on the Diet Board that there's at least one new study that looks more solid. I think this is the same thread where I posted about bifantis and, again, I think the study is in the Research Library.
