Hydrogen & Methane Breath Test
What is Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when there is too much bacteria in the small intestine. The bacteria interfere with digestion and absorption and can result in digestive and secondary symptoms, malabsorption, and nutritient deficiencies. The bacteria produce gases such as hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide. These gases can cause symptoms similar to those of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Some studies have shown that up to 80% of people with IBS have SIBO.
The SIBO test can be done either in one of our clinic locations or the test can be perfomed at home using a home testing kit.
