Published: March 31, 2017, 4:30 p.m.

Today we will be discussing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Even as recently as two to three years ago this was a novel diagnostic entity in the world of gastroenterology.\xa0 At that time there was still considerable skepticism surrounding the concept of SIBO.\xa0 However, in the past three years SIBO as a diagnosis has gained traction, yet for those practitioners and patients involved with managing SIBO realize how persistent this condition can be.\n\nIn today's broadcast we will illuminate on how many cases of SIBO reoccur after appropriate antimicrobial and dietary interventions, and why the focus for those involved with refractory SIBO needs to be shifted to the brain, as this area of the body has tremendous control over gastrointestinal motility and sphincter tone.\n\n\xa0\n\nPlease enjoy and forward\xa0your comments to us here on our website or our Facebook page.\xa0 Thank you for listening!
