Core Tip Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is defined as an increased number of non-pathogenic bacteria over 105 organisms/mL of small intestinal content. The most common predisposing factors include, among others, gut motility disorders and chronic use of proton pump inhibitors. SIBO is suspected and excluded frequently in functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders like functional abdominal pain, irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia, or functional defecation disorder. However, the extent of SIBO in functional GI disorders, which mainly manifest with upper gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, belching, dyspepsia, etc, has not been documented earlier. This study uniquely divides the proton pump inhibitor naive children into two groups: One with demonstrable endoscopic lesions (control) and the other without the endoscopic lesions (cases) and compares the prevalence of SIBO between these two groups instead of comparing the cases with healthy children without any symptoms. The result documented a significantly increased number of SIBO in the children with normal endoscopic evaluation. Henceforth, this study documents a need to evaluate the children with functional upper GI symptoms for SIBO.
