65,00 €
What does the test consist of?
This is a noninvasive test that measures hydrogen/methane in exhaled air. The lactose intolerance breath test is a simple, noninvasive, and completely harmless test. On the day of the test, an initial breath sample will be taken by blowing into a collection container to establish a baseline. This is done to measure normal breath gas levels before the administration of the sugar, glucose. After the administration of the substrate, breath samples will be taken every 25 minutes. The total duration of the test is 3.5 hours. These samples will be analyzed to measure hydrogen and methane levels in the breath.
What should I keep in mind before taking the test?
It’s important to follow the prior instructions regarding diet and requirements to prepare for sample collection. You can find the specifications here .

It is important that the results of an impaired glucose tolerance test be interpreted by a healthcare professional with experience in gastroenterology, as the interpretation can be complex and must consider the patient’s clinical context.
Object of study
Glucose intolerance breath test
The test assesses intestinal function and metabolic health, detecting the presence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and determining whether excessive fermentation of unabsorbed carbohydrates contributes to a patient’s gastrointestinal symptoms.
Glucose intolerance refers to an inadequate response from the body after consuming foods containing carbohydrates. The glucose intolerance breath test can be useful in evaluating certain metabolic conditions related to glucose intolerance, such as irritable bowel syndrome or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
