Elevated levels of methane, could be related also to a condition called SIBO (Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth). SIBO is a heterogeneous syndrome characterized by an increased number and/or abnormal type of bacteria in the small bowel, and it is a well-recognized cause of mal-digestion and malabsorption. SIBO represents an umbrella term, under which some different functional (e.g. irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation, diarrhea) or organic (e.g. in?ammatory bowel disease, coeliac disease, diverticular disease, etc.) conditions can be included, as – in each of them – bacterial proliferation (and consequent in?ammation) may, at least in part, trigger similar abdominal symptoms.
