Intestinal methanogen overgrowth and its impact on gastrointestinal disorders in children: a retrospective study
IMO positivity is prevalent in children with gastrointestinal symptoms, particularly prominent among those with FGID. The IMO positive group exhibited a lower incidence of diarrhea and more frequently demonstrated terminal ileal villous blunting. In FGID patients, IMO positivity correlates with age, showing higher rates in school-aged children.
