Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in impoverished children living in unsanitary environments in low-income countries is associated with intestinal inflammation and stunting. This project will build upon our preliminary data showing that SIBO predicts future stunting. Our objectives are to determine if treating SIBO in Bangladeshi infants under ideal conditions (i.e. frequent screening and treatment of all episodes) improves growth and to determine the structure and function of the enteric dysbiosis that children with SIBO have. Further, we will…
