Why SIBO Awareness matters

SIBO occurs when bacteria that normally grow in other parts of the gut start multiplying in the small intestine. This imbalance can lead to chronic symptoms like bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and malnutrition—deeply affecting quality of life. For many, the journey to a proper diagnosis is long, frustrating, and filled with misinformation.  And by far one of the biggest challenges to receiving a proper diagnosis is the lack of awareness of SIBO - both among patients and even the medical community.
