Brief Summary:
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a common condition associated with gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation, particularly in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Antibiotic therapy with rifaximin is commonly used, but relapse rates remain high.
This randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate whether supplementation with a multispecies probiotic containing Enterococcus faecium and Bacillus subtilis improves the effectiveness of rifaximin therapy in adult patients with SIBO.
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either rifaximin plus the probiotic or rifaximin plus placebo. Clinical assessments will include hydrogen breath testing and evaluation of gastrointestinal symptoms using standardized questionnaires at baseline and during follow-up visits.
The study is being conducted at a single academic medical center in Poland and is sponsored by Państwowy Instytut Medyczny MSWiA. The probiotic and rifaximin are provided by Urgo.
The results of this study may help determine whether probiotic supplementation can improve treatment outcomes and reduce recurrence of SIBO.
