SIBO, or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, is when bacteria generally found in the large intestine have colonized the small intestine at problematic levels. Individuals with SIBO/IMO can have issues with bloating, malabsorption, maldigestion, irregular bowel movements, gas, distension and abdominal pain. The most effective way to address SIBO/IMO is a joint approach of both supplemental and nutritional interventions with acupuncture supporting the symptoms and flare ups.
