Symptomatic relief is an important part of Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth management. There are many at home and over the counter treatment options to relieve SIBO symptoms. This lecture will describe supplements, as well as some food and lifestyle factors for SIBO symptom relief, by symptom (bloating, constipation, diarrhea, pain, acid reflux, nausea…), along with precautions and warnings for the treatments.

There are many causes of Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth. This lecture explains both the physiologic underlying causes as well as the many risk factors. Physiologic underlying causes primarily encompass failure of protective mechanisms such as the migrating motor complex and anatomic alterations. Risk factors encompass diseases, injuries (including surgery), medications and other lifestyle factors as well as genetics. A clinical checklist of risk factors is discussed along with testing and treatment.

Presenters respond to questions from the audience regarding food fear and SIBO. A mixture of data, clinical experiences and outcomes and case examples are covered.
