Study of Clinical Features and Efficacy of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth in Patients With Abdominal Distension
Sponsor: Peking Union Medical College Hospital
Summary
Most studies of bloating have focused on functional factors, while data on organic abdominal distention are rare, and studies that combine small intestine bacterial overgrowth and/or oral cecum transit time abnormalities are more urgent to explore. On this basis, patients with functional abdominal distension complicated with small intestine bacterial overgrowth were divided according to whether there was abnormal oral cecum transit time, and given the same treatment plan. The relief effect of abdominal distension, small intestine bacterial overgrowth turning negative and oral cecum transit time recovery were observed, so as to further clarify the cause of abdominal distension patients.
