At LeczenieJelit.pl, we specialize in diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal disorders, including Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Our comprehensive approach to digestive health ensures that patients receive accurate diagnoses and effective treatments. One of our core services is SIBO testing, which plays a crucial role in identifying the underlying causes of digestive symptoms and guiding appropriate therapies.
WHAT IS SIBO?
SIBO, or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, is a condition where an excessive amount of bacteria grows in the small intestine. While the gut naturally contains bacteria, an overgrowth in the small intestine can disrupt normal digestion and nutrient absorption, leading to various symptoms, such as:
Bloating
Abdominal pain
Diarrhea
Constipation
Nausea
Unexplained weight loss
If left untreated, SIBO can contribute to nutrient deficiencies, malabsorption, and even more serious gastrointestinal issues. Identifying and treating SIBO early is essential for maintaining digestive health and overall well-being.
Why is SIBO Testing Important?
Accurate SIBO diagnosis is key to developing an effective treatment plan. Many gastrointestinal symptoms can mimic those of other conditions, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or food intolerances, making it difficult to determine the exact cause without specialized testing. SIBO testing helps confirm the presence of bacterial overgrowth and guides targeted therapies to alleviate symptoms and restore gut health.
SIBO TESTING AT LECZENIEJELIT.PL
1. State-of-the-Art Diagnostic Tests
At LeczenieJelit.pl, we use advanced breath tests to diagnose SIBO. Our testing procedure involves measuring the levels of hydrogen and methane in the breath after consuming a specific sugar solution (usually lactulose or glucose). These gases are produced by bacteria in the small intestine, and elevated levels indicate the presence of bacterial overgrowth.
2. Safe and Non-Invasive Procedure
The SIBO breath test offered at LeczenieJelit.pl is a non-invasive, simple, and painless procedure. Patients are required to follow a pre-test diet and fasting guidelines to ensure the accuracy of the results. During the test, breath samples are collected at regular intervals, allowing us to detect any abnormal levels of gases that may suggest SIBO.
3. Comprehensive Analysis and Accurate Results
Our team of specialists at LeczenieJelit.pl performs a detailed analysis of the breath test results. We provide accurate diagnoses based on the latest clinical guidelines, ensuring that patients receive a clear understanding of their condition and the appropriate recommendations for treatment.
4. Personalized Treatment Plans
After diagnosing SIBO, our experts design personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Treatment may include:
Antibiotics or herbal antimicrobials to reduce bacterial overgrowth.
Probiotics and prebiotics to restore a healthy balance of gut flora.
Dietary changes such as the low FODMAP diet, helps manage symptoms and prevent recurrence.
At LeczenieJelit.pl, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with SIBO and other gastrointestinal disorders. Our holistic approach not only targets overgrowth but also addresses the underlying factors contributing to digestive problems.
