Small Bowel Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome (SBBOS) Clinical Trial
Official title:
Retrospective Analysis of Treatment Outcomes in Patients With Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome Diagnosed by D-Xylose Breath Testing
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.
We want to determine whether treatment with prokinetics such as Octreotide, Azithromycin, Erythromycin or Tegaserod alone, versus antibiotics alone, or combination of antibiotics plus prokinetics results in symptomatic improvement in patients with SIBO (defined by a positive D xylose Breath test). ;
