Although many patients experience small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), in this webcast Monique Class, MS, APRN, FNP-BC explains that a SIBO diagnosis can often be overlooked in a clinical setting. Class shares her journey and commitment in learning how to provide the best care to her patients with SIBO to help them achieve clinical breakthroughs.
