Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a clinical condition characterized by a malabsorption syndrome due to an increase in microorganisms within the small intestine. The main mechanisms restricting bacterial colonization in the upper gut are the gastric acid barrier, mucosal and systemic ...
in the stomach and upper small intestine. There are a number of different causes for decreased gastricacid production, such asatrophic gastritis,pernicious anemia, surgical resections, anddrug therapy. The consequences of bacterial overgrowth are numerous, includingsteatorrhea,vitamin deficiencies, and...
To treat SIBO, you need to lower the amount of bacteria in your small intestines and, if possible, treat the underlying problem causing the overgrowth. You also may need treatment for any complications. SIBO antibiotics Antibioticsare the main treatment of bacterial overgrowth. The exact antibiotic...
Long-Term treatment with cisapride and antibiotics in liver cirrhosis: effect on small intestinal motility, bacterial overgrowth, and liver function. OBJECTIVES: Altered small-bowel motility, lengthening of the orocecal transit time, and small-intestinal bacterial overgrowth have been described in patien...

Our data suggest a unique role of ileum in maintaining homeostasis of gut microbes through production of ROS with potential importance for preventing reflux from the large intestine, bacterial overgrowth, and translocation. INTRODUCTION The small intestine possesses a dual role: on the one hand, it ...
A delayed bacterial colonization of the gut with a limited number of bacterial species tends to be virulent. Bacterial overgrowth is one of the major factors that promote bacterial translocation. The aberrant colonization of the premature infant may contribute to the of . Breast-feeding protects ...
Parkinson’s disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting 1% of the global population over the age of 60, and has recently been correlated with alterations in microbial gut composition9,10,11. The primary treatment of PD is levodopa (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine or...
