There are several bacteria in the human body especially the small intestine which are symbiotic in the sense that they thrive on the human body but also aid in the metabolism of the humans too! But there are certain circumstances wherein there are certain bacteria which over grow in number and can lead to certain symptoms of the gastrointestinal symptoms.
The gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus has certain motility which keeps the digestive process going. But on some occasions the system goes slow and leads to excessive growth of bacteria sometimes in pockets of small intestine.
Such individuals could have bloating, diarrhoea or constipation. Through a breath test it is possible to find the type of bacteria too. If hydrogen producing bacteria are more, they lead to diarrhoea and the methane producing ones lead to constipation.
But more importantly it is address SIBO because it can lead to vitamin deficiencies as vital ones are not absorbed in the small intestine and there could be unintentional weight loss too.
Homeopathic medicine can correct this imbalance easily with wonderful remedies like Nux vomica, Sulphur, Aethusa cy, Abrotanum and several others and are selected when the remedies match the symptoms typical of the patient.
