Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) — Symptoms and Treatment
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Our body is able to make use of the metabolic sources in the environment by way of the alimentary tract. In order for it to serve as a conduit for the food and other essential substances, it has to undergo specific functions such as food propulsion, secretion of digestive juices, and absorption of simplified nutrients and vitamins, among others. Needless to say, any interruptions in the continuity of any portion of the digestive tract would result in a lot of problems, including absorption. Small intestine bacterial overgrowth is an example of a condition that could result in malabsorptive conditions.
