If You’re Bloated All the Time, This Could Be the Missing Piece
SIBO is one of the most overlooked causes of chronic bloating.
What Is SIBO?
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
= bacteria in the wrong place
Why It Causes Bloating
In SIBO, bacteria ferment carbohydrates in the small intestine, producing gas that leads to bloating and abdominal pressure.
Bacteria ferment carbohydrates → gas → pressure → distention
Common Signs of SIBO
- Bloating after meals
- Gas
- Brain fog
- IBS diagnosis
Why It’s Often Missed
SIBO is often missed because standard testing is not always performed, and symptoms are frequently labeled as IBS.
Standard GI workups don’t always test for it.
Functional Medicine Approach
