People with SIBO often have low motility, meaning the small intestine does not push food through the digestive tract as it should. Diverticulitis, abdominal surgery, and adhesions can also make SIBO more likely. There are several types of SIBO, and the type someone has will determine their treatment. Doctors may prescribe an antibiotic or combination of antibiotics. People with SIBO may feel relief from symptoms by following a low FODMAP diet. FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. These are compounds that bacteria ferment, sometimes causing SIBO symptoms. Learn more about the low FODMAP diet. Irritable bowel syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) describes a group of symptoms that affect the gastrointestinal tract, including: abdominal pain and cramping
diarrhea or constipation
bloating
white mucus in stools
Because of the range of causes, treatment for IBS varies.
