Researchers have developed a novel nutritional formula, mBiota Elemental, a palatable elemental diet (PED) that reduces the abundance of key gut microbiome taxa and improves symptoms in patients with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO). Intervention testing with mBiota Elemental showed normalized breath tests and relief of symptoms in the majority of participants, with no serious adverse events. Elemental diets are highly digestible nutritional formulas containing free amino acids, simple carbohydrates, minimal fat, and essential micronutrients. Intestinal microbial overgrowth syndromes, including SIBO and IMO, involve abnormally high levels of coliform bacteria or methanogenic archaea in the...
