SIBO Laboratory Test Instructions

dranthonycrifase.com/
SIBO is a common clinical condition and can develop in a variety of patient populations.
Genova's SIBO Profiles are non-invasive breath tests which capture exhaled hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4) gases following patient ingestion of a lactulose solution to evaluate bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine. When should testing for SIBO be considered?
Symptoms of SIBO are non-specific, encompassing abdominal pain/distention, diarrhea, and flatulence.
Conditions commonly associated with SIBO include:
IBS
IBD
Celiac Disease
Diabetes
Fibromyalgia
Rosacea
Parkinson's Disease
Obesity
Risk factors for development of SIBO include structural/anatomic issues, motility disorders, organ system dysfunction, elderly age and various medications (recurrent antibiotics, PPIs) that alter the gut microflora populations. Symptomatic patients with any underlying conditions or risk factors warrant assessment for SIBO.
While aspiration of small bowel fluid (followed by culture and bacterial count) is considered to be the current gold standard for diagnosis of SIBO, it is not routinely performed because it requires a complex, invasive technique, and is costly. As a result, experts suggest breath testing for the diagnosis of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

You are supposed to remove the tube before you stop exhaling. The way you did it - removing your mouth from the device first will allow room air in to the tube!

On the part we're you said 4 weeks clear of antibiotics, does herbal anti microbials count as antibiotics?
