Bloating is a common symptom with a wide range of possible causes, from diet and stress to hormonal fluctuations and digestive disorders. One increasingly recognized but often overlooked cause is SIBO—small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. In SIBO, an abnormal amount of bacteria populate the small intestine, leading to excessive fermentation of food, gas production, and bloating, especially after meals.

SIBO is frequently misdiagnosed as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) due to the overlap in symptoms like bloating, abdominal discomfort, and altered bowel habits. However, unlike IBS, SIBO has a more defined and reversible underlying cause—often treatable with targeted antibiotics, diet changes, or other interventions. As research continues to grow, we’re beginning to understand that many cases of chronic bloating may actually be due to this bacterial imbalance, offering new hope for those who have struggled with symptoms for years without answers.
