How the Hydrogen and Methane breath test will benefit your patients and your practice!
Breath tests are invaluable in helping evaluate functional bloating, diarrhea, constipation and suspected malabsorption. These tests are simple and safe alternatives compared to more invasive procedures such as biopsies and/or obtaining asparate for culturing. Hydrogen breath tests aids in the diagnosis of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) which provides a framework for understanding Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) patients. The types of gas produced by bacteria in the digestive tract are an important factor in this understanding. Recent work demonstrates that among IBS subjects, methane produced during lactulose breath testing is associated with constipation predominance both subjectively and objectively. (Am J Gastroenterol 2007;102:1-5)
QuinTron is the only manufacturer of breath-testing instrumentation to offer the ability to measure both hydrogen and methane in a single sample of breath (alveolar air), which adds reliability to the breath test and properly diagnosing patients.
