Episode notes
SIBO might not be the cause of certain diseases, but rather a symptom of underlying conditions. It is crucial to rely on accurate testing methods for SIBO diagnosis. A common myth is that SIBO can be diagnosed through a poop test, but this is inaccurate as the test reflects the colon, not the small intestine where SIBO occurs. The gold standard test for SIBO diagnosis is a sterile jajunal aspirate, but it is invasive and rarely performed. A more practical and non-invasive method is the breath test, where the patient drinks a sugary liquid and the production of hydrogen is measured to determine the presence of SIBO.
