Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), is defined as excessive bacteria in the small intestine. Originally it was believed to occur in only a small number of patients and now, clearly, this disorder is far more prevalent than previously thought. It's estimated that 6-15% of apparently healthy people (that's 20-51 million Americans and countless more world-wide) have it while 80% of people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) have it for certain! We will discuss what are believed to be the causes and we may surprise you with one that may be the real culprit and completely overlooked. Traditional treatment for this horrible problem has shown to be poor. We will discuss natural therapies and treatments that have had great success but ignored by conventional medicine.
