Hydrogen Breath Testing
What is hydrogen breath testing?
Hydrogen breath testing is a new and innovative test offered here at Mid-America Gastro Intestinal Consultants. It uses the measurement of hydrogen in the breath to diagnose several conditions that cause gastrointestinal symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, cramping, gas and diarrhea.
Hydrogen breath testing can help diagnose three conditions:
Abnormal digestion of dietary sugars
Bacterial overgrowth of the small bowel
Rapid passage of food through the small intestine
