How common is SIBO?
A recent analysis of 1,534 people we have helped at humanpeople has revealed that 54% of our users have significant gut issues. If you think you may have SIBO and want to get tested you can do our SIBO questionnaire and find out more about SIBO testing here.
Not only does this group suffer from gut issues, but they also suffer significant non-digestive issues. Of these:
- 64% reported significant fatigue and tiredness
- 43% had brain fog
- 54% a significant reduction in libido.
Energy levels are in the doldrums. Hives, sinusitis, aching joints, soft tissue injuries, eczema, rosacea and weight gain are all common. Most people have lived with this problem for years, even decades, unaware that it can be fixed.
Many have gone on to suffer from even more significant health issues: 5.4% reported having being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, compared to 1-2% off the normal population, and 5.1% have fibromyalgia.
What do they have in common? They all have a condition called SIBO, which is caused by bacterial overgrowth in the (nearly) sterile mucus of the small intestine. A report from Lincoln University published in Nature estimated that about half of people with IBS actually have SIBO.
