Link between hypothyroidism and SIBO

New research shows the link between hypothyroidism and SIBO. Detect SIBO using the Hydrogen Breath Test.

Jun 30, 2014 · 1 minute read

Altered small intestinal motility increases the risk of developing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Hypothyroidism is known to alter small intestinal motility. This research conducted in India evaluated the link and found that patients with hypothyroidism have a high propensity to develop SIBO. The researchers used the hydrogen breath test to detect SIBO. Fortunately, both antibiotics and probiotics can effectively manage the symptoms of SIBO.
