Cause of SIBO
Post infectious
Overconsumption of simple carbohydrates
Medications
Low stomach acid level
a case of gastroenteritis can often be the “heralding event” for the development of SIBO
Do you like sugary foods, sweets, soda, fruit juice?
proton pump inhibitors, morphine and other opiates, narcotics, possibly beta agonists and calcium channel blockers
Normal stomach acid levels are required to kill bacteria. Stress is one of cause of lowering stomach acid level!
Stress
Initial colonisation of bad bacteria
Altered anatomy
Slow motility of small intestine
Did you know your stress level is directly associated with your gastrointestinal function?
Pooling and stagnation of small intestine allows for bacterial overgrowth
malformation of the ileocecal valve, surgical intervention causing scarring and adhesions altering the normal anatomy of the small intestines
caesarean birth, no breast feeding
How does SIBO affect you?
SIBO causes damage to the absorptive surface of the small intestine - the ability of the body to absorb nutrients from food.
The absorptive surface of the small intestine is likened to a shaggy carpet, with finger-like protrusions called villi. The surface of the villi contain microvilli, which act as the interface of absorption—microvilli secrete enzymes called “brush border enzymes” which break starches into single molecules and proteins into single amino acids, so these can be absorbed.
