Wiki small bowel bacterial overgrowth

[hbeard]

does anybody have a good diagnosis code for this? all the ones i find dont' seem specific enough so i just use 569.9....any thoughts?

We have used 008.49, but I don't think it applies in all cases, and I can't really direct you to anything in writing to support it.
