Retrospective Analysis of Treatment Outcomes in Patients With Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome Diagnosed by D-Xylose Breath Testing

Completed

Conditions studied: Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome (SIBO), Small Bowel Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome (SBBOS)

In brief

The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of prokinetics versus antibiotics versus a combination of antibiotics plus prokinetics in the eradication of Small-Intestinal Bacterial Over-Growth Syndrome (SIBO) in those with and without a positive D-xylose Breath Test. Hypothesis: Patients with SIBO treated with a combination of prokinetics and in particular octreotide and antibiotics will have reduced recurrence rates of SIBO than either therapy given alone.
