SIBO in Arizona

SIBO in Arizona is very damaging to the cell lining of the small bowel. This can lead to leaky gut, allowing large protein molecules to move through the intestinal barrier and escape into the bloodstream. As you can imagine, that can cause a number of problems, including general inflammation, immune reactions that cause food allergies, and autoimmune diseases. Do you think you might be suffering from SIBO? We can help! Please contact us, and we’ll get to the bottom of what’s going on and create a plan of action to bring your body back to good health.


These havoc-causing bad bacteria are also responsible for poor digestion, diarrhea, constipation, and malabsorption. Patients with SIBO may suffer from nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, vitamin B12, and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, as well as unintended weight loss, and even osteoporosis.


How do you know if you have SIBO?

SIBO is considered an underdiagnosed condition as many physicians do not yet know about it or think of testing a patient for it.

Common SIBO symptoms include:

In the most severe cases, patients experience significant weight loss due to constant and significant intestinal symptoms every time they eat or drink.


Are you at risk for SIBO?

Surprisingly, younger people are more at risk of developing SIBO than older patients, but many people in their 40’s and 50’s have had symptoms for many years.  There are multiple risk factors that can increase your chances of developing SIBO. These include:

  • Gastric acid suppression medications or Low Stomach Acid (due to stress, medications, lifestyle factors)
  • Food poisoning
  • Post-surgical abdominal scarring
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Prior bowel surgery (especially loss of the ileo-cecal valve)
  • Abdominal Neuropathy
  • Genetic diseases or anatomical intestinal deformities

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above or think you might be at risk, then we encourage you to make an appointment to assess your symptoms and get tested. Specialized testing can be accomplished through a breath test. This breath test measures your hydrogen and methane gas levels produced by the bacterial metabolism and can be a very helpful indicator to determine if you are suffering from SIBO.
