SIBO Breath Testing
Gemelli BiotechWhat this laboratory test evaluates
A positive finding on a trio-smart breath test using a sucrose substrate indicates potentially impaired sucrose breakdown 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 sucrose lies in its ability to discern a perceived decrease in the action of the enzyme sucrase. Sucrase acts at the intestinal lining, breaking down sucrose molecules into their component sugars, fructose and glucose. This leads to gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, gas, and diarrhea. This test offers a non-invasive and efficient method for identifying sucrase deficiency, allowing healthcare providers to make informed dietary recommendations and treatment decisions.
Therefore, the trio-smart malabsorption breath test for sucrose can provide clarity for individuals experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms and guide appropriate management strategies tailored to their specific needs.
Additional test information
The trio-smart Sucrose Malabsorption Test measures the level of hydrogen in patients' breath to aid in the identification of sucrose malabsorption.
Collection and processing
- Sample type: Breath
- Fasting: Yes
- Estimated laboratory processing: Results should arrive 3 business days after the lab receives samples.
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.
