Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Gut Bacteria It has been estimated that 55 million Americans suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), meaning a person suffers from symptoms such as abdominal pain, gas and bloating, constipation and/or diarrhea. Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth may be the cause.It occurs when these native bacteria or non-native bacteria flourish and become excessive in the small intestine, particularly in regions which usually have relatively low levels of bacteria. This leads to the fermentation of food creating gas (such as hydrogen and methane), pain, and abdominal distention. It also contributes to inflammation and malabsorption of food and nutrients.
