Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO): Diagnosis and Treatment – Dr. Jason Nasser
SIBO is a common condition that causes symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and even malnutrition. The human body contains trillions of microbes that live with us in harmony. Normally, our small intestine has few microbes relative to the large intestine. In small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO, the delicate balance is disrupted by a disproportionate overgrowth of certain bacteria in the small intestine. In this talk, we discussed what we can do to know if someone has SIBO as well as what treatment options can be offered to resolve it.
The NES: Gut Microbiome: its overall health and related illnesses was a full-day event complimentary to the public, patients and caregivers that included topics relating to multiple aspects of the gut microbiome. This included information from medical professionals on daily experiences and management techniques that patients can use to improve their day-to-day living. There was also a post-event reception for all attendees to network, share stories, and resources.
