The Fructose Malabsorption Breath Test
offered by Metabolic Solutions is a safe, non-invasive
means of detecting an individual's inability to absorb
fructose efficiently. Due to fructose malabsorption,
fructose reaches the colon where it is broken down by
bacteria to short fatty acids. Bloating, cramps, diarrhea
and other symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome are common
complaints. This 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 the easy to use Fructose Malabsorption
Breath Test collection kits. No special in-office licenses
or equipment are required.
