Altered gastrointestinal (GI) motility is seen in many pathological conditions. Reduced motility is one of the risk factors for development of a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Hypothyroidism is associated with altered GI motility. The aim of this article was to study the link between hypothyroidism, altered GI motility and development of SIBO. Published literature was reviewed to study the association of altered GI motility, SIBO and hypothyroidism. Altered GI motility leads to SIBO. SIBO is common in patients with hypothyroidism. Patients with chronic GI symptoms in hypothyroidism should be evaluated for the possibility of SIBO. Both antibiotics and probiotics have been studied and found to be effective in management of SIBO.
胃肠道（GI）动力改变见于多种病理状况。动力降低是小肠细菌过度生长（SIBO）发生的危险因素之一。甲状腺功能减退与胃肠道动力改变有关。本文的目的是研究甲状腺功能减退、胃肠道动力改变与SIBO发生之间的联系。回顾已发表的文献以研究胃肠道动力改变、SIBO与甲状腺功能减退之间的关联。胃肠道动力改变导致SIBO。SIBO在甲状腺功能减退患者中很常见。甲状腺功能减退伴有慢性胃肠道症状的患者应评估是否存在SIBO的可能性。抗生素和益生菌均已被研究并发现对SIBO的治疗有效。
