Abstract
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a condition where an excess number of native and nonnative gut bacteria cause symptoms due to increased fermentation, inflammation, or malabsorption. This and other malabsorptive and nutritional deficiencies are also covered here including pancreatic insufficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, lactase deficiency, and lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D).
