SIBO - 3 Hour
When it comes to gastrointestinal symptoms, studies have shown that a large percentage of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is actually Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). SIBO is a common clinical condition characterized by excessive bacterial development in the small intestine. This non-invasive breath test captures exhaled hydrogen and methane, to provide practitioners with the insight to better differentiate and diagnose SIBO.

Studies show that a large percentage of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is actually Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Experts suggest non-invasive breath testing for the diagnosis of SIBO.
SIBO profiles utilize the North American Consensus Guidelines published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology. 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 small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO).
3-hour SIBO assessment.
The 3-hour SIBO profile provides insight into gas levels over a longer time frame and is recommended for patients with slower gastrointestinal transit or constipation.
Additionally, a flatline result in the third hour could indicate the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas. SIBO is a common clinical condition characterized by excessive bacteria in the small intestine and can develop in a variety of patient populations.
Symptoms and conditions commonly associated with SIBO include:

Decreased bacteriostatic digestive secretions (HCl, pancreatic enzymes, bile acids) such as with PPI use Ileocecal valve dysfunction If left untreated, SIBO can lead to complications such as malabsorption and intestinal permeability, or leaky gut.
