| Peppermint Bloating Meta-Analysis | 1 2 3 4 5 5 6 7 6 7 Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic disorder of gut–brain interaction characterized by recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel habits, in the absence of identifiable structural abnormalities []. | 3 | Šuran Jelena (2026) | IBS and SIBO: Gut Microbiota, Pathophysiology, and Non-Pharmacological Interventions |
| Peppermint Bloating Meta-Analysis | Early studies reported SIBO in up to 60–78% of IBS cases based on lactulose breath testing [,,], though later investigations using more rigorous methods found lower prevalences (e.g., 4–20%) [,]. | 3 | Šuran Jelena (2026) | IBS and SIBO: Gut Microbiota, Pathophysiology, and Non-Pharmacological Interventions |
| Peppermint Bloating Meta-Analysis | Moreover, increasing evidence implicating the gut microbiota in IBS/SIBO has spurred interest in interventions that modulate microbial communities. | 3 | Šuran Jelena (2026) | IBS and SIBO: Gut Microbiota, Pathophysiology, and Non-Pharmacological Interventions |
| Peppermint Bloating Meta-Analysis | It affects an estimated 5–10% of the global population and is more common in women, imposing a significant burden on quality of life and healthcare resources []. | 3 | Šuran Jelena (2026) | IBS and SIBO: Gut Microbiota, Pathophysiology, and Non-Pharmacological Interventions |
| Peppermint Bloating Meta-Analysis | We examine current guideline recommendations, real-world treatment patterns, and evidence supporting both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. | 4 | Sacco R (2026) | Revisiting Abdominal Pain in IBS: From Pathophysiology to Targeted Management with Alverine Citrate/Simeticone. |
| Peppermint Bloating Meta-Analysis | Abdominal pain is the cardinal symptom of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the primary determinant of disease burden and healthcare utilization. | 4 | Sacco R (2026) | Revisiting Abdominal Pain in IBS: From Pathophysiology to Targeted Management with Alverine Citrate/Simeticone. |
| Peppermint Bloating Meta-Analysis | Despite its diagnostic centrality and high prevalence across all IBS subtypes, effective management remains a clinical challenge. | 4 | Sacco R (2026) | Revisiting Abdominal Pain in IBS: From Pathophysiology to Targeted Management with Alverine Citrate/Simeticone. |
