The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in patients who will be undergoing an enteroscopy as an outpatient procedure with symptoms of functional dyspepsia. In addition, the investigators would like to identify the types of bacteria that are present in the small intestines in patients with SIBO and compare two different diagnostic tools: microbiologic culture and DNA sequencing of bacteria.
The aim is to compare the microbiota between patients with and without the clinical complications of SIBO

Study group
a. Study Subjects will be recruited from patients who are already undergoing upper enteroscopy and aspiration for diagnosis of SIBO.

Control group
b. Control Subjects will be recruited from patients who are already undergoing a double balloon enteroscopy or upper enteroscopy for another medical reason

- To determine the predictors for SIBO in patients with functional dyspepsia, who do not have the established risk factors for SIBO [ Time Frame: two years ]In this population, prevalence of potential predictors of SIBO will be compared between subjects with and without a diagnosis of Gram Negative Bacteria SIBO
- A registry of patients undergoing proximal jejunal aspiration for suspected small intestinal bacterial overgrowth [ Time Frame: Two years ]
A prospective registry will be created for all subjects who are undergoing jejunal aspirate for clinical indications. Private health information will be excluded from the data registry. Data collected for the registry will include:
- Demographics
- Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index total and subscale scores
- Presence of functional gastrointestinal disorders
- Established risk factors of gram negative small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
- Established risk factors of upper respiratory tract small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
- The demographics, clinical history, and symptoms in patients with and without SIBO [ Time Frame: One day ]
Demographics 2. Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index total and subscale scores 3. Presence of functional gastrointestinal disorders 4. Established risk factors of gram negative small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
5. Established risk factors of upper respiratory tract small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
- Characterize the clinical differences between small intestinal bacterial overgrowth by upper respiratory tract bacteria and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth by gram-negative bacilli bacteria [ Time Frame: One day ]clinical differences between small intestinal bacterial overgrowth by upper respiratory tract bacteria
- Compare the composition between luminal and mucosal bacteria in the proximal small bowel [ Time Frame: One day ]Compare the results of bacteria species isolated from molecular polymerase chain reaction identification between luminal aspiration samples and mucosa biopsy samples.
