The MMC is a wave-like muscular activity that sweeps residual bacteria from the small intestine between meals. Chronic stress, hypothyroidism, and certain medications suppress MMC function, allowing bacteria to accumulate.

0%
of Indian IBS patients tested positive for SIBO — meaning nearly half the people being treated for irritable bowel syndrome in India have a bacterial overgrowth that is driving the symptoms and going undetected
SIBO Treatment
Persistent bloating, abdominal discomfort after meals, unpredictable bowel habits, and a general sense of digestive dysfunction are among the most common complaints in clinical practice, and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a frequently overlooked explanation. SIBO treatment requires more than a short course of antibiotics; it demands a structured approach that addresses both the bacterial overgrowth itself and the conditions that allowed it to develop
The small intestine is not designed to harbour large populations of bacteria; when the mechanisms that normally prevent this fail, bacterial overgrowth takes hold and disrupts digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function. The most commonly identified contributors include:
Understanding the root cause
Why Antibiotics Alone Rarely Resolve SIBO
The high recurrence rate of SIBO following antibiotic treatment is one of the most clinically documented patterns in gastroenterology. Rifaximin and other antimicrobial agents reduce bacterial load effectively in the short term, but they do not address the predisposing conditions that enabled overgrowth in the first place. Without correcting these, recurrence within months is common.
Factors that persist after antibiotic treatment if left unaddressed include:
If the underlying cause of poor intestinal motility (stress, thyroid dysfunction, or medication) is not resolved, bacterial recolonisation resumes rapidly
Symptoms Of SIBO
Particularly pronounced after eating carbohydrate-rich foods, as bacteria ferment undigested sugars and produce gas.

Questions, answered
Frequently Asked Questions
What is SIBO treatment?
It is a structured clinical protocol aimed at reducing bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine while addressing the underlying conditions that allowed it to develop
How to treat SIBO naturally?
Clinically supervised SIBO natural treatment includes herbal antimicrobials, low-FODMAP dietary protocols, prokinetic support through lifestyle and natural compounds, gut repair supplementation, and stress reduction
What causes SIBO?
Impaired intestinal motility, reduced stomach acid, structural abnormalities, prior gut infections, chronic stress, thyroid dysfunction, and immune dysregulation
Can SIBO be cured permanently?
SIBO can be fully resolved and remain in remission long-term when both the bacterial overgrowth and its underlying drivers are addressed.
What are the symptoms of SIBO?
Post-meal bloating and gas, abdominal cramping, diarrhoea or constipation, nausea, fatigue, brain fog, and signs of nutritional deficiency such as hair loss, anaemia, and low energy.
How long does SIBO treatment take?
The active antimicrobial phase typically spans two to four weeks. Dietary support and gut repair continue for a further two to three months.
What foods help SIBO?
Well-tolerated options on a low-FODMAP protocol include rice, oats, cooked carrots, spinach, courgette, firm tofu, eggs, plain chicken and fish, and lactose-free dairy. Foods to avoid with SIBO include onions, garlic, legumes, wheat, most fruit, and high-lactose dairy, as these ferment rapidly and feed the overgrown bacteria
Where can I get SIBO treatment in Bangalore?
Clinic Living Plus in Bangalore is one of the few functional medicine clinics in the city offering dedicated SIBO treatment with breath testing, root-cause assessment, and structured eradication and recovery protocols. Our clinic has the diagnostic infrastructure and multi-disciplinary capability to manage SIBO from initial testing through to full gut recovery.
What makes Clinic Living Plus the best SIBO clinic in Bangalore?
At Clinic Living Plus, SIBO treatment is never approached as a single round of antibiotics. Our protocol is structured in phases: confirming the diagnosis, reducing bacterial load, repairing the gut lining, restoring motility, and rebuilding the microbiome. This phased, root-cause approach is what separates our SIBO doctor team from general gastroenterology practices that manage SIBO with antibiotics alone.
Can Clinic Living Plus treat SIBO if I also have IBS?
Yes, and this combination is among the most common presentations our clinic manages. A substantial proportion of patients diagnosed with IBS have underlying SIBO that was never tested for. We investigate both simultaneously
Does Clinic Living Plus offer a specific SIBO diet programme?
Yes. Our clinical nutritionists design personalised sibo diet treatment plans for every patient based on their breath test results, symptom profile, and nutritional status. Rather than prescribing a generic low-FODMAP protocol, we tailor the dietary approach to the type of SIBO identified and the patient's specific food tolerances.
