Professional Hydrogen Breath Test in Wroclaw.
This is an easy and non-invasive examination that allows for the detection of
hydrogen concentration in exhaled air.
Under physiological conditions, the presence of these gases in the small intestine is
minimal.
An increase in gases during the examination allows for the detection of Small
Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), which is the overgrowth of bacteria in the
small intestine.
The patient inhales air into their lungs and exhales into a special bag, and then the staff examines the sample in the
QuinTron Breathtracker SC machine. Then, the patient consumes 10g of lactulose solution, which is a synthetic disaccharide composed of galactose and fructose, that is not absorbed in the small intestine and is fermented by intestinal bacteria. Lactulose moves down the digestive system, and bacteria break it down into short- chain fatty acids, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. Hydrogen dissolves in the blood and is transported to the lungs, where its presence can be examined in exhaled air. The patient repeats the process of exhaling air every 20 minutes for 3 hours. If there is an elevated increase in hydrogen in the appropriate segment of the small intestine, it may indicate small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
Indications for testing may include excessive bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, loose stools, constipation, reflux, heartburn, bad breath, feeling of overflow, fullness in the upper abdomen, headaches, and anemia. Symptoms may worsen especially after consuming products such as onions, garlic, leeks, cauliflower, and apples. After a prolonged period of illness, symptoms may worsen even after drinking a glass of water on an empty stomach.
An absolute contraindication is hereditary fructose intolerance and reactive hypoglycemia.
The test does not require a doctor’s referral.
