Re: Better with Antibiotics?       01/20/08 07:16 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Breath hydrogen and methane can decrease from the ingestion of antibiotics that kill normal colonic bacteria. The decrease need not be related to SIBO. Note, they can also decrease from the elimination of non-digestable carbohydrates like SF, IF, fructose and sugar alchohols from the diet which are fermented in the colon producing gases. It is not quite correct that all IBS is not bacteria related. There is a well-known type of IBS call post-infectious IBS (PI-IBS) resulting from bacterial gastroenteritis. PI-IBS has been reported after Campylobacter, Salmonella, and Shigella infections. It is estimated that about 10% of IBS results after a GI infection. In post-infectious IBS, low grade GI inflammation or immune activation may be a basis for altered motility, and/or nerve and mucosal (lining of bowel) function of the gut in IBS. I have PI-IBS which started in Jan 1980 after a GI infection I got when living in California. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
