SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) occurs when excessive bacteria grow in the small intestine, an area of the gut that normally contains low bacterial levels. This overgrowth interferes with digestion and nutrient absorption, leading to symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, gas, diarrhea, or constipation. SIBO is often linked to digestive motility issues and may require dietary changes or medical treatment to rebalance the gut.
