Features of nutrition pattern of patients with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth resistant to therapy

Abstract

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a widespread disease characterized by a significant decrease in the quality of life. Antibiotic treatment with SIB O is not effective enough and the recurrence rate is high. Long-term dietary patterns can shift the composition of the microbiota.

The aim of the study was to compare the pattern of nutrition of patients with SIB О, resistant to therapy and cured patients.

Materials and methods. SIBO H2 has been identified in 458 patients using hydrogen-methane breath test with lactulose, and therapy with intestinal antiseptics and control breath test after 2 months was prescribed. 24 hour recalls or three-day food records were collected from all participants. The photographs were used to estimate the size of the portions eaten. According to food composition and portion all dishes in food diary were converted into constituent products by food groups, which were summed by weight per day and compared with the norms of consumption of the pyramid of healthy nutrition for a given caloric intake. The study compared dietary patterns of patients with resistance to the therapy of SIBO and those who had successful therapy.

Results and discussion. Control of the hydrogen content in the exhaled air was performed only in 79 re-appeared patients, 38 (48.9%) of them in 2 months after therapy revealed the presence of SIBO H2>20 ppm. A comparison of the nutrition of these patients showed that patients resistant to therapy had higher consumption of buckwheat (0.41±0.47 vs 0.14±0.35 relative to the rate of consumption of cereals, p<0.001) and millet (0.036±0.11 vs 0.007±0.021, p=0.047), poultry meat (0.80±0.64 vs 0.54±0.62, p=0.01) and butter (0.54±0.24 vs 0.39±0.22, p<0.01). The diet of patients with resistant to SIBO therapy was also сharacterized by a lower consumption of mono- and disaccharides (75.2±32.7 vs 95.5±41.5 g/day; p=0.015) and cottage cheese (0.07±0.08 vs 0.17±0.19, p=0.018). Consumption of fruits and vegetables did not have significant differences.

Conclusion. Treatment is ineffective in roughly half the patients with SIBO H2. According to the results of the study, significant differences in the nutrition pattern of patients resistant to SIBO therapy with respect to the consumption of cereals, poultry, butter, added sugars and cottage cheese were established. The obtained data may be used to develop dietetic maintenance of SIBO therapy and prevention of its relapses.
