SIBO - 3 Hour by Genova Diagnostics

Breath

The 3-hour SIBO assessment is a non-invasive test that evaluates bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine. This longer test is recommended for patients with slower gastrointestinal transit or constipation.

trio-smart SIBO Breath Test by Gemelli Biotech

Breath

The trio-smart breath test measures the levels of hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide in a patient’s breath to determine if any are elevated abnormally. It aids in the identification of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), intestinal methanogenic overgrowth (IMO), and excess hydrogen sulfide. This test comes with a GLUCOSE substrate.

SIBO/IMO Lactulose Breath Test by Commonwealth Diagnostics International, Inc.

Breath

This test is used to help diagnose Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth (IMO). When bacteria normally found in the large intestine become present in the small intestine, the digestive system may produce excessive hydrogen and/or methane gas, which can cause many gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. This test comes with a LACTULOSE substrate.
