![]() Motility disorders, diabetes, and chronic pancreatitis are estimated to account for ~90% of cases of SIBO.ġ) Deconjugation of bile salts and impaired digestion of fats, with consequent steatorrhea and malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins (specifically vitamins A, D, and E, but not vitamin K, as it is produced by luminal bacteria).Ģ) Depletion of vitamin B 12, leading to megaloblastic anemia. When any of these mechanisms is altered, the risk for SIBO increases:ġ) Alteration of the GI tract: Duodenal or jejunal diverticulosis, fistulas, strictures, inflammatory bowel disease, gastric resection or bypass, blind loop syndrome, resection of ileocecal valve.Ģ) Decreased gastric acid: Hypochlorhydria or achlorhydria, gastrectomy, vagotomy, inhibitors of acid secretion or acid blockers.ģ) Altered GI motility: Functional GI disorders ( IBS and functional dyspepsia), gastroparesis, pseudo-obstruction, connective tissue diseases (scleroderma, polymyositis, lupus), medications (opiates, anticholinergics, tricyclic antidepressants), radiation enteropathy, muscular dystrophy, amyloidosis.Ĥ) Decreased pancreatic enzymes or biliary secretion: Chronic pancreatitis, cirrhosis. It is often associated to other disorders and therefore frequently underdiagnosed.Įtiology and pathogenesis: There are several mechanisms that prevent bacterial colonization of the small intestine, such as low gastric pH, gastrointestinal ( GI) motility, enzymes in pancreatic and biliary secretions, integrity of the intestinal mucosa, direct effects of commensal bacteria, decreased secretion of IgA, and the ileocecal valve. The prevalence of SIBO in the general population is unknown. ![]() Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth ( SIBO) is a condition in which the small bowel is colonized by excessive numbers of aerobic and anaerobic microbes that normally colonize the colon.
