What can happen if you leave SIBO untreated? Will it treat or go away on its own or is there much more to it? Find out in this video.

When it comes to looking at risk factors what we are really highlighting are situations which could possibly result in SIBO. We know that courses of antibiotics and other drugs can sometimes, if not often, produce an imbalance of the microflora, however there are many other factors which may negatively affect the delicate balance of those essential bugs in your gut. So, if you are suffering digestive problems which are proving difficult to resolve, take a look at the following information which may help you pin down the real cause. It will also, of course, assist in helping you realize you may be at risk for SIBO even if you haven’t yet developed it.

Drugs, such as NSAIDs, which are regularly taken without prescription can also disrupt the harmonious balance of the digestive community. If you regularly take such medications, possibly for an on-going condition, then keep a watchful eye out for any of the signs and symptoms of SIBO.

Sometimes we can acquire a gut problem through a pathogenic organism which has entered the body despite the many defense mechanisms. When this happens the pathogenic bacteria can often overwhelm the beneficial community and SIBO can be the long-term effect. In addition, the original infection is often treated with antibiotics which we know negatively affect the intestinal microflora.

If you are taking antacids or proton pump inhibitors then you are also susceptible to SIBO. The pH or acidity of the digestive tract is extremely important in maintaining a healthy balance of the microflora. Any disruption to the pH, such as antacids which are alkaline or proton pump inhibitors which stop the production of acid completely, can negatively affect the bacteria who need a specific pH to ensure their survival.

Gastric Surgery

When parts of the digestive system are removed then the implications on the resident microflora become obvious. If you have had gastric surgery then it is not only important that you make yourself aware of the symptoms of SIBO, but it is also recommended that you regularly have checks to ensure the pH of gastric juice is correct and you have no nutrient deficiencies.

On-Going Disease

Certain illnesses also predispose a patient to SIBO. However whether some of these illnesses are simply different presentations of dysbiosis or whether dysbiosis co-exists with the on-going condition is still open to further investigation. There are many illnesses which come under this category but the main ones, in addition to diabetes and IBS, are celiac disease, Crone’s disease and autoimmune conditions such as osteoarthritis.
