The dysfunction of? lower esophageal sphincter (LES) can contribute to the development of? small intestine bacterial syndrome (SIBO) due to ? the alteration of? normal flow of food gastric juices from the stomach to the small intestine. The LES is a circular muscle at the junction between the esophagus and the esophagus. The stomach relaxes to allow food to pass into the stomach, but it contracts to prevent gastric acid from entering the stomach. the bacteria of? stomach rises towards the esophagus. When is there dysfunction? EEI, this does not close properly, which can allow acids from? stomach ? bacteria retreat into the esophagus? reach the small intestine. Can this lead? an imbalance in the microbiota of small intestine, which promotes excessive growth of bacteria in this part of the intestine. gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, the alteration of? normal flow of food gastric juices can decrease the ability to? small intestine to eliminate bacteria effectively, which would also contribute to uncontrolled proliferation of bacteria. For example, if a person suffers from gastroesophageal reflux due to a dysfunction of? EEI, is it possible that gastric acids ? the bacteria of? stomach reach the small intestine recurrently, which could predispose it to the development of SIBO. Likewise, conditions such as achalasia, in which the LES does not relax properly, can also contribute to the development of SIBO by making gastric emptying difficult. promote bacterial proliferation in the small intestine. Is the dysfunction important? EEI may contribute to the development of SIBO by allowing the regression of gastric acids. bacteria into the small intestine, as well as by altering the normal flow of food gastric juices ?n this part of? gastrointestinal tract.
