SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) breath test
SIBO breath testing is a non-invasive test that measures the amount of hydrogen or methane that you breathe out after drinking lactulose. A rapid rise in exhaled hydrogen or methane may indicate bacterial overgrowth in your small intestine. If the small intestine becomes overgrown with bacteria it can lead to malabsorption of key nutrients and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
