BACKGROUND: Small bowel bacterial overgrowth is common in Crohn's disease but its treatment is not clearly defined. Metronidazole and ciprofloxacin are effective antibiotics in active Crohn's disease. AIM: To investigate the efficacy of metronidazole and ciprofloxacin in the treatment of bacterial ...
Small bowel bacterial overgrowth (SBBO) syndrome is associated with excessive numbers of bacteria in the proximal small intestine. The pathology of this condition involves competition between the bacteria and the human host for ingested nutrients. This competition leads to intraluminal bacterial catabolism...
Twenty-four patients with proven systemic sclerosis and with symptoms suggestive of malabsorption (i.e. chronic diarrhoea and weight loss) were investigated for small bowel bacterial overgrowth. Of the patients selected, six were suffering from the diffuse form of the disease. Jejunal aspiration was ...

Overgrowth of the small intestine with bacteria has been implicated in the chronic diarrhoea associated with severe malnutrition. The hydrogen breath test has been introduced as a simple non-invasive technique to assess bacterial fermentation in the bowel. An increase in breath hydrogen in excess of ...
The pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), once thought to be largely psychogenic in origin, is now understood to be multifactorial. One of the reasons for this paradigm shift is the realization that gut dysbiosis, including small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), causes IBS symptoms...
Diverticula rarely involve the stomach but are common in the duodenum and small bowel. Most diverticula are asymptomatic and are detected incidentally. Complications include bleeding, perforation, and malabsorption resulting from bacterial overgrowth. Asymptomatic diverticula require no treat...
