Migrating Motor Complex (MMC)

A cyclical pattern of electrical activity and muscular contractions that sweeps through the stomach and small intestine during fasting (between meals). The MMC acts as a 'housekeeper,' clearing residual food particles and bacteria from the small intestine. Disrupted MMC function is implicated in SIBO.
