Question: is sibo the same as ibs?
Answer: Mark Pimentel has demonstrated that SIBO is often a root cause of IBS. And SIBO is also often present in people who have an IBD. So what's the difference? While SIBO is a known cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, it's the other way around: Inflammatory Bowel Disease can cause SIBO.
