This simple, non–invasive, gastrointestinal test detects bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine, often referred to as BOSI or SIBO. Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a common gastrointestinal disorder that often underlies chronic gastrointestinal symptoms of maldigestion and malabsorption, including bloating, gas, diarrhea, irregularity, and abdominal pain.
Bacterial overgrowth can inhibit nutrient absorption and lead to the following serious health problems:
Altered intestinal permeability (leaky gut)
Carbohydrate intolerance
Malabsorption
Malnutrition and weight loss
Anemia
Fibromyalgia
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Osteoporosis
Causes of small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO/BOSI):
Crohn’s Disease
Adhesions
Radiation Damage
Lymphoma
