SIBO Breath Testing
Gemelli BiotechWhat this laboratory test evaluates
A positive finding on a trio-smart breath test using a lactose substrate indicates potential malabsorption of lactose in the small intestine, which can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and flatulence.
The clinical relevance of the trio-smart malabsorption breath test for lactose lies in its ability to diagnose lactose malabsorption, a condition where the body has difficulty digesting lactose due to a genetic deficiency in the small intestine enzyme lactase. This leads to gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, gas, and diarrhea. This test offers a non-invasive and efficient method for identifying lactose malabsorption, allowing healthcare providers to make informed dietary recommendations and treatment decisions.
Research indicates that lactose malabsorption is prevalent worldwide and can significantly impact individuals' quality of life. Diagnosis through breath testing enables targeted interventions, such as reducing lactose-containing foods in the diet or using lactase enzyme supplements to improve lactose digestion.
Furthermore, lactose malabsorption may be accompanied by bacterial overgrowth in the digestive tract. Therefore, the trio-smart malabsorption breath test for lactose can provide clarity for individuals experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms and guide appropriate management strategies tailored to their specific needs.
Additional test information
The trio-smart Lactose Malabsorption Test measures the level of hydrogen in patients' breath to aid in the identification of lactose malabsorption.

How Sunridge uses laboratory information
Sunridge considers the medical question, symptoms, history, medications, prior results, and whether the finding could change care before recommending testing. A laboratory result is not interpreted in isolation and does not establish a diagnosis by itself.
Before requesting this test
Availability, collection requirements, eligibility, and processing estimates can change. Sunridge reviews each request and, when appropriate, creates the order through Fullscript. Follow the current instructions supplied with the approved order.
