Nearly 1 in 3 people

suffer from GI Distress.

  • 25-45 million people are affected by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • It's estimated up to 80% of IBS sufferers may have SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). 
  • Some studies suggest up to 15% of healthy people have SIBO but remain asymptomatic. 

Underlying Causes of SIBO, IMO, and GI Distress

The underlying causes of SIBO, IMO, and related disorders are not yet well understood, although researchers continue to study these conditions. Digestive disorders seem to develop when one or more of the following defense mechanisms against bacterial overgrowth become compromised: 

  • Hydrochloric acid, which destroys bacteria in the stomach. 
  • Gut motility, which keeps intestinal contents moving through the system.
  • Immunoglobulins and pancreatic proteolytic enzymes, which halt bacterial growth.
  • An intact and properly functioning ileocecal valve, which prevents the backflow of contents from the large intestine to the small intestine.
