- Medical conditions – certain medical conditions such as crohn’s disease, celiac disease, diabetes, scleroderma, and radiation enteritis that slow down the movement of food particles through the small intestine.
- Complications of abdominal surgery – sibo may be caused due to gastric bypass for obesity and gastrectomy did to treat stomach cancer and peptic ulcers.
