  • Title: Is small-bowel bacterial overgrowth an underdiagnosed disorder in children with gastrointestinal symptoms?
    Author: Jones HF, Davidson GP, Brooks DA, Butler RN.
    Journal: J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr; 2011 May; 52(5):632-4. PubMed ID: 21464754.
    Abstract:
    Small-bowel bacterial overgrowth (SBBO) has been implicated in chronic abdominal pain and irritable bowel syndrome in children. This was a retrospective study that aimed to assess the occurrence of SBBO by the lactulose breath hydrogen test in children referred primarily for investigation of carbohydrate malabsorption (n = 287). There were profiles indicative of SBBO in 16% (39/250) of hydrogen-producing children. This indicated that SBBO may be more common in children with gastrointestinal symptoms and apparent carbohydrate malabsorption than previously recognised.
