Abnormal motility is associated with bacterial overgrowth, which by itself causes mucosal inflammation, further impairing gastrointestinal motility and creating a vicious cycle.

Treatment with antibiotics may improve motility.

Most clinicians use 1- to 2-week cycles of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, cotrimoxazole, and metronidazole, often with an antifungal such as nystatin or fluconazole, interspersed by antibiotic-free periods.
