The Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth
Breath Test offered by Metabolic Solutions is a safe,
non-invasive means of detecting bacteria growing in
the normally sterile small intestines. Alterations in
gastric acid secretion and intestinal motility provide
the setting for the development of bacterial overgrowth.
Recent reports suggest bacterial overgrowth is commonly
associated with irritable bowel syndrome( IBS) when
diagnosed using the hydrogen breath test. Our simplified
version of the well-known hydrogen breath test can be
performed in a doctor's office or given to patients
to do at their convenience and in their own home. Everything
needed is contained in an easy to use Bacterial Overgrowth
Breath Test collection kit. No special in-office licenses
or equipment are required.
