Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) Testing

SIBO Testing is a non-invasive breath test used to diagnose Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), a condition where excess bacteria in the small intestine causes symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and malabsorption. During this test, the patient drinks a lactulose or glucose solution, and breath samples are collected to measure hydrogen and methane levels, which indicate bacterial activity. SIBO Testing is essential for identifying underlying gastrointestinal issues in children, allowing for targeted treatment to improve digestive health and nutrient absorption.
