Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Incidence of SIBO after treatment with PPI	Number of subjects to have a positive breath testing for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) after clinical treatment of proton pump inhibitors (PPI ).	After PPI therapy, approximately 8 weeks
Secondary	Symptoms of SIBO after treatment with PPI	Measured using the self-reported Mayo Bloating Questionnaire to assess symptoms of bloating and abdominal distension. Comprised of 45 questions addressing symptoms of bloating/distention. Other questionnaires include a diarrhea survey and the GERDQ.	After PPI therapy, approximately 8 weeks
Secondary	Incidence of SIBO before treatment with a PPI	Number of subjects to have a positive breath testing for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) before clinical treatment of proton pump inhibitors (PPI ).	Baseline
Secondary	Symptoms of SIBO before treatment with a PPI	Measured using the self-reported Mayo Bloating Questionnaire to assess symptoms of bloating and abdominal distension.
