SIBO Breath Test | Lactulose | 3 Hours
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO or BOSI) occurs when bacteria invade the normally bacterial-less small intestines. This promotes inflammation, absorption issues, bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and other serious digestive issues.
By testing both hydrogen and methane, this SIBO breath test can help indicate wherein the small intestine the overgrowth is since levels of each gas vary in location.
