Ileal overgrowth with competitive species suppression in slower transit, less nutrient-dense regions

|
Normal
|
Abnormal
|
Colonic overgrowth even though ileal growth rates are normal due to modulation by dietary components and physiological regulators
|
|
High
|
High

Widespread overgrowth and potential direct relationships between species in stool and compounds in urine. Possible initial or trailing effects of significant infective episodes.
