Methogenic bacteria are common in the flora of the large bowel of humans. They do not have to have come from an outside source. Given a good enough food supply their populations can grow and methane production increase.

SIBO - small intestine bacterial overgrowth - is associated with many kinds bacteria overgrowth in the ilieum or distal end of the small intestine. SIBO is not limited to methanogens. In SIBO the bacteria are either not being sweeped out of the small intestine into the large bowel properly or they are finding their way back into the small intestine from the large bowel. It can result from a slow transit of food through the bowels, from certain medications, surgery and diseases.

I sure would be interested in hearing if your doc prescribes a breath test for SIBO. You might also ask for a breath test for lactose and fructose. Might as well get all the breath testing you can get done at once.

Good luck.
