Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when excess bacteria build up in the small intestine. SIBO can occur due to various factors, including weakened protective mechanisms like gastric acid, bile, peristalsis, and immune function. Common causes of SIBO include conditions that affect digestion, motility, and the immune system, such as chronic pancreatitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and immune deficiencies.
