Living With SIBO: How a Medical Awareness Card Can Help Every Day

SIBO, or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, affects thousands of people but is still not widely understood. It can cause urgent symptoms that arrive without warning—often while you’re out in public, away from the comfort of home. For those dealing with daily discomfort, unpredictable digestion, and bathroom-related stress, being prepared makes a difference.

That’s why we designed our card. It gives people with SIBO a way to explain what’s happening without needing to speak. It’s small, simple and helps avoid difficult situations when timing matters.

SIBO can lead to bloating, gas, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain. These symptoms often come on quickly, especially after eating. In public places, there’s often no time to explain the problem or wait in queues. That’s where our card is useful.

You can use our card to show someone that you’re not being difficult—you’re just dealing with a medical condition. It’s clear, quick and avoids long explanations. In places like cafés, supermarkets, buses, and public loos, a short delay can be the difference between managing symptoms and having an accident.

Our card helps smooth those moments. You don’t have to argue, explain or feel embarrassed. You just take it out and show it.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth happens when there are too many bacteria in the small intestine. This leads to poor digestion and unwanted symptoms. Some people feel constantly bloated. Others have pain, gas, or sudden diarrhoea. It can affect appetite, energy, and even mental focus.

Because it’s not a visible condition, people often assume you’re fine. That’s what makes life with SIBO frustrating. You might feel awful inside, but look completely healthy on the outside. Our card helps bridge that gap.

It’s not about asking for special treatment. It’s about being understood without having to explain everything.

Who Should Carry a SIBO Medical Awareness Card

Anyone with a diagnosis of SIBO—or anyone going through testing and treatment—can benefit from carrying our card. You don’t have to wait for official paperwork or doctor approval. If your symptoms impact your day-to-day life, our card is for you.

Some people use it to ask for bathroom access. Others use it to explain why they need to leave quickly or eat in a certain way. Whatever the reason, our card gives you control.

It’s especially useful for people who get anxious in public, for teens who want independence, or for adults balancing work, travel or social plans while managing symptoms.

Our card is made from biodegradable plastic and is the size of a standard credit card. It’s single-sided and not personalised, so you don’t need to submit any details. You can start using it the moment it arrives.

The illustration on our card helps get the message across without confusion. It’s designed to be understood at a glance, even by people who have never heard of SIBO before.

It slips easily into a pocket, wallet or phone case. That means it’s always close by when you need it. Whether you’re on a bus, in a shop, or travelling, it’s ready to help without delay.

SIBO Is Hard Enough – Let Our Card Make Life a Bit Easier

People with Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth already deal with enough each day. Between managing food triggers, working around symptoms, and handling the social impact, there’s a lot to think about. Our card can’t take away the symptoms, but it can make some parts of life a little smoother.

It removes the pressure of explaining yourself when you’re in a rush. It can help reduce embarrassment and increase confidence. Some users say it’s changed how they approach daily errands. Others feel more relaxed knowing they have something that speaks for them.

Small things can make a big difference when you live with an unpredictable condition.

You don’t need to personalise it. You don’t need to register for anything. You don’t even need to say a word. Our card does the talking for you when you’d rather stay silent.

The design is simple. The message is clear. The size is convenient. It’s printed in the UK by us here at The Card Project UK using eco-friendly plastic that’s safe to carry and built to last.
