Abstract

Abstract:

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is defined as an increase in the bacterial content of the small intestine above the normal value and is associated with various diseases, such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory diseases, etc. The treatment for SIBO is still controversial. Therefore, this article reviews treatments for SIBO, including antibiotic, probiotics, prokinetic, herbal therapy, dietary therapies, and other treatments.

Key words:

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, Rifaximin, Probiotics, Progress

摘要：

小肠细菌过度生长（SIBO）是由多种因素引起的小肠细菌含量高于正常值，并且与肠易激综合征、炎症性肠病等多种疾病相关。目前，关于SIBO的治疗方法仍有争议。因此，本文对SIBO的治疗进行综述，包括抗菌药物、益生菌、促动力药、中草药、饮食疗法及其他治疗方法。
