You will be asked to fill out a patient form at checkout which will give us more information on your current diet and lifestyle, health concerns, current medications and supplement intake.
If you wish to purchase multiple tests for people in the same household please add quantity as 1 for each test so that individual patient forms can be completed.

SIBO is characterised by an increase in the number, or a change in, the type of bacteria found in the small intestine. The detection of hydrogen and methane in the breath after ingesting a substrate (lactulose) can help determine if SIBO is the cause of gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, cramping, nausea, reflux, flatulence and belching.
Such symptoms, often non-specific and indistinguishable from those seen in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other functional digestive disorders, can be the result of bacterial fermentation of short-chain carbohydrates in the small intestine. Risk factors for SIBO include achlorhydria, use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), pancreatitis, diabetic neuropathy, migrating motor complex (MMC) impairment, gastroenteritis, motility disorders, Crohn's Disease, IBS and Coeliac Disease. This simple breath test is non-invasive, performed at home and requires a 1-2-day preparatory diet and a 12-hours fasting period. Click HERE for sample guide.
