| Peppermint Gut Motility 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 Gut Motility 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 |
