Abstract
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when the small bowel is colonized by high numbers of abnormal microorganisms. There is no gold standard diagnostic test for SIBO. Both small bowel aspiration and breath testing have limitations as diagnostic tests. However, breath testing has the practical advantages of being readily available, inexpensive, and noninvasive.
