SIBO: What Lies Behind the Condition Mistaken for a Disease, Part 1

Image

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) is a condition where bacteria that are normally present in small amounts in the small intestine—or that typically reside in the large intestine—begin to proliferate in the small intestine. SIBO disrupts normal digestion and nutrient absorption.

Symptoms of SIBO include bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation. However, it’s not just discomfort—SIBO can significantly impact quality of life, leading to chronic fatigue, skin issues, weight loss, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The underlying cause of SIBO is often another condition, and SIBO is a dysfunction of the gut that results from this primary issue.

Lack Iron: The Enemy Leading to Iron Deficiency Anemia

Iron deficiency is a condition in which the level of iron in the body decreases, leading to insufficient amounts for normal hemoglobin synthesis. Although iron deficiency itself is not anemia, it can cause various unpleasant symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, and cognitive decline. If iron deficiency progresses, it can lead to the development of iron deficiency anemia, which poses a serious health risk. Iron deficiency anemia can develop not only due to a lack of iron but also as a result of other factors that interfere with the body’s ability to absorb or utilize iron.

How to know if such snoring is dangerous?

I think nobody needs to explain what snoring is. However, very often people do not understand that snoring can be a sign of very serious problems. Snoring can also lead to many health issues if left untreated.

Even when snoring itself is not a serious health problem, it can become an issue for people around, especially for sleep partners. Loud snoring can disrupt a partner’s sleep, causing fatigue and drowsiness throughout the day. Moreover, constant intermittent sounds can cause irritation and stress for those nearby. This, of course, can negatively affect the relationship between partners.
