Hydrogen/methane breath test to diagnose lactose malabsorption.

Additional Information

This breath test measures hydrogen and methane levels in exhaled breath after lactose ingestion. It's highly specific and sensitive for diagnosing lactose malabsorption, a common issue in IBS sufferers. The test helps determine if dairy intolerance is the cause of symptoms, avoiding unnecessary dietary restrictions. Breath tests are recommended before dietary intervention as they avoid adverse effects on gut microflora.

Biomarkers Tested (2)

Hydrogen (H2) (ppm)
Amount of hydrogen in exhaled breath after lactose ingestion; produced by gut microbial fermentation of carbohydrates.
Methane (CH4) (ppm)
Amount of methane in exhaled breath; measured if hydrogen production is low.
