Partial intestinal obstruction, unspecified as to cause. K56.600 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM K56.600 became effective on October 1, 2020.
Diagnosis Code for Reimbursement Claim: ICD-9-CM 560.9. Code will be replaced by October 2015 and relabeled as ICD-10-CM 560.9.
Coding a 579 indicates that the patient has malabsorption, which is not always the case with SIBO but can be a symptom. 008.49 implies that there is bacterial infection, "other". Close, but I would defer to the documented symptoms until a more specific code is available.
ICD-9-CM codes are used in medical billing and coding to describe diseases, injuries, symptoms and conditions. ICD-9-CM 560.9 is one of thousands of ICD-9-CM codes used in healthcare. Although ICD-9-CM and CPT codes are largely numeric, they differ in that CPT codes describe medical procedures and services.

How is bowel obstruction coded in ICD-10-CM?Obstruction:K56.69 Other intestinal obstruction.In addition, certain conditions will include a “with” notation and code within the index. See Adhesions entry below from the index:with intestinal obstruction K56.50.
Small bowel obstruction is a partial or complete blockage of the small intestine, which is a part of the digestive system. Small bowel obstruction can be caused by many things, including adhesions, hernia and inflammatory bowel disorders. Symptoms, diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
Bowel obstruction may be partial or complete, simple or complicated. Partial obstruction allows some liquid contents and gas to pass through the point of obstruction, whereas complete obstruction impedes passage of all bowel contents.
The bowel. The bowel is part of the digestive system. It is made up of the small bowel (small intestine) and the large bowel (colon and rectum). The small bowel is longer than the large bowel but it gets its name from the fact it is much narrower than the large bowel.
An obstruction in which two points along the course of a bowel are obstructed at a single location thus forming a closed loop. Patients present clinically with signs of obstruction: abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, abdominal distension.

There are two types of small bowel obstruction:functional — there is no physical blockage, however, the bowels are not moving food through the digestive tract.mechanical — there is a blockage preventing the movement of food.
In small bowel obstruction, the pain tends to be colicky (cramping and intermittent) in nature, with spasms lasting a few minutes. The pain tends to be central and mid-abdominal. Vomiting may occur before constipation. In large bowel obstruction, the pain is felt lower in the abdomen and the spasms last longer.
An incomplete obstruction at any point in the intestine causes symptoms that differ from the complete form only in degree. Problems connected with obstruction are among the most interesting and important in medicine.
An intestinal obstruction occurs when your small or large intestine is blocked. The blockage can be partial or total, and it prevents passage of fluids and digested food. If intestinal obstruction happens, things will build up behind the site of the blockage.
Overview. Bowel obstruction may be classified by 5 different classification methods including: Open and closed, incomplete and complete, extrinsic, intrinsic and intraluminal, true and pseudo-obstruction, and finally, small bowel and large bowel.
