Bacterial overgrowth syndrome
-
Bacterial overgrowth syndrome is a disorder in which poor movement of intestinal contents allows certain normal intestinal bacteria to grow excessively, causing diarrhea and poor absorption of nutrients (malabsorption).
Some conditions and disorders slow or stop the movement of contents through the intestines.
Some people have no symptoms, whereas others have abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, bloating, and excessive flatulence.
The diagnosis is based on symptoms, particularly in people who have had certain types of surgery or have certain disorders.
Antibiotics can eliminate the excess bacteria.
