Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Bridge between Functional Organic Dichotomy. SIBO can also trigger seemingly unrelated symptoms such as joint pain, mood issues, food sensitivities, memory problems, and weight gain. Many people experience a mix of the above, including alternating diarrhea and constipation. Researchers are learning more about a third kind of SIBO, linked to excess levels of hydrogen sulfide, a gas you might recognize for its “rotten eggs” smell. SIBO-C is triggered by methane gas that slows down the transit time of waste products, leading to constipation. SIBO-D happens when bacteria produce hydrogen, leading to bloating and diarrhea. However, issues arise when gas-producing bacteria enter the small intestine, leading to bloating, diarrhea, and constipation – and sometimes, all three! These processes produce a lot of gas, but the large intestine is designed to (mostly) accommodate gas production. What Is Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth?īacteria play an important role in your large intestine, where they break down carbohydrates and help absorb nutrients.
