TO THE EDITOR: We read with interest the recent article by Goebel-Stengel et al1 and wish to express our appreciation and enthusiasm for their work on small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and carbohydrate intolerance in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, we have significant concerns regarding their methodology and basis for diagnosis of fructose intolerance.
