The Small Intestine is a Muscular tube about 6.5 meters long and 35 mm in diameter – it is one of the primary components of the Digestive System. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome is a syndrome characterized by increased populations of Bacteria (both Beneficial Bacteria and Detrimental Bacteria) in the Small Intestine (the Duodenum, Ileum and Jejunum).

– May cause Diarrhea
– May cause Flatulence.
– May be an underlying cause of some cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis
– May be an underlying cause of Fatigue

– Lactobacillus Casei
– Lactobacillus Casei
2- Several types of Pharmaceutical Antibioticsreduce the bacterial overgrowth associated with Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome
