Hydrogen Breath Test | SIBO Breath Testing |
The test measures how the amount of hydrogen present in your breath changes after you consume a sugar solution.
There’s usually very little hydrogen in your breath.
Having a higher level of it usually indicates a problem, either from sugar tolerance or bacterial growth in your small intestine.
Its a simple and noninvasive way to diagnose common gastrointestinal conditions.
Why is it done?
it’s usually done to confirm or rule out one of two conditions:
First is...Intolerance to a specific sugar, ....such as lactose, fructose, sucrose or sorbitol — also called carbohydrate malabsorption.
Lactose intolerance is the most common.
Second is....Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
This is when helpful bacteria from your colon have moved into your small intestine, where they don’t belong
What do my results mean?
The amount of hydrogen in your breath is measured in parts per million (ppm).
Your doctor will look at how the amount of hydrogen in your breath changes after you drink the sugar solution.
If the amount of hydrogen in your breath increases by more than 20 ppm after drinking the solution, you may have a sugar intolerance or SIBO, depending on your symptoms.
