SIBO test: to better understand a digestive disorder that is often overlooked

Bloating, discomfort, poor digestion…
Sometimes, symptoms reappear without any obvious cause being identified.
And that is when SIBO may be the cause.

What is SIBO?

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) refers to an abnormal proliferation of bacteria in the small intestine.

It is often confused with other digestive disorders such as lactose intolerance or irritable bowel syndrome.

However, it is a condition in its own right, which disrupts digestive balance and can impact quality of life on a daily basis.

Frequent symptoms

SIBO can manifest itself through:

  • Bloating and excessive gas
  • Abdominal pain
  • Diarrhea or constipation
  • Fatigue, difficulty concentrating
  • Halitosis (unpleasant breath odor)
  • Weight loss and deficiencies (especially vitamin B12)
  • Food intolerances

Sometimes, these symptoms are accompanied by a leaky gut syndrome, which can trigger a systemic inflammation or autoimmune disease.

How can it be diagnosed?

This simple and non-invasive breath test can be performed at home.
It measures the presence of gases produced by bacteria (hydrogen, methane, etc.) in exhaled air.
At Labo MGD, you can order a SIBO kit to be used at home in just a few steps.

A clear protocol will guide you, step by step.
The test takes about three hours, on an empty stomach, from your home.
