Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth has been involved in symptoms linked to functional gastrointestinal disorders. Purna C. Kashyap and colleagues show that the small intestinal microbiome is altered in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms, which can be triggered through diet in a microbiota-dependent manner.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders, affecting more than 10% of the population, with the highest impact in women. Although its origin is still unknown, reduced gut microbial diversity could be involved in
