We all have trillions of bacteria living in our large intestine. These help us with many bodily functions and are essential for good health.

Problems arise when these bacteria move into the small intestine. This affects the small intestine’s ability to do the important work of digesting and absorbing nutrients, leading to a wide variety of symptoms.

For this test, you simply drink a sugary solution and collect breath samples at regular intervals over three hours. The gas found in your breath allow us to see whether there are bacteria in your small intestine and, if so, what type they are.

Based on this information, you will receive targeted nutrition and lifestyle advice to help keep your bacteria in check—and your health on the right track.

SIBO stands for Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth. Just like unwanted house guests, they have wandered into your small intestine and started to wreak havoc. As a result, your intestine cannot do its job properly - leading to your symptoms.

Test for SIBO using a simple, at-home hydrogen methane breath test. Our SIBO Breath Test uses specialist gas chromatography to assess the presence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Designed to measure the levels of hydrogen and methane, this simple and reliable test is the gold-standard for assessing the presence of SIBO in those who may present with chronic symptoms of IBS.

Dear

Congratulations on getting to this stage.

I have reviewed your test results and symptoms, and have summarised the key findings below. I have also included the video above to help you understand more about your results.

Your results

Please find your easy-to-read Healthpath SIBO report along with the original results from the laboratory.

• Your results have come back positive for SIBO, based on your hydrogen levels.

• Your results have come back negative for SIBO, based on your hydrogen levels.

• Your results are positive for methane, a condition called 'intestinal methanogen overgrowth' which has been connected with constipation and bloating. I’ve shared a video with you under 'resources'.

• Your results have come back negative for methane.

While your results have come back negative, the shape of your graph indicates possible microbial imbalance. 

Even though these results are negative, I can create a beneficial program for you, based on your symptoms. It can often be the case that rather than an overgrowth, there may simply be a bacterial imbalance. This may be in the small or the large intestine — the SIBO breath test only looks at the small intestine. 

When assessing your results, we expect to see a rise in hydrogen in the final hour of the test. This is when the lactulose solution you drank enters the large intestine and is fermented by the bacteria there. 

As you can see, your results don’t show this rise in hydrogen. Possible reasons for this are:

• The lactulose did not enter the large intestine during the ‘normal’ time period. This would typically manifest as severe constipation.

• The lactulose travelled through the intestines excessively quickly, resulting in a lack of fermentation. This would typically manifest as severe diarrhoea.

• Not much hydrogen was produced. This can occur if you’ve recently taken a course of antibiotics or anti-microbials.

• Instead of hydrogen, hydrogen sulphide may have been produced. Symptoms associated with this include bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhoea or constipation (or fluctuation between the two) and eggy-smelling gas.

There is 1 sample missing in your results due to low levels of carbon dioxide in one of your sample tubes. This does not affect the interpretation of your test.

What's next?

Your test results are the first step in getting answers to your symptoms. Next, I want to empower you to find better health.  

Please take the time to review the health plan I have created for you.
