SIBO Test
The GetTested SIBO Test is for individuals who suspect bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. Symptoms may include bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort and changes in bowel habits such as diarrhoea or constipation. This at-home breath test measures hydrogen and methane gases after ingesting lactulose, which are produced when bacteria ferment sugars in the small intestine. Elevated levels may indicate bacterial overgrowth.

About SIBO Test
Overview of the SIBO Test
SIBO occurs when bacteria that normally reside in the large intestine are present in the small intestine, where they ferment carbohydrates and produce gases such as hydrogen and methane. This can contribute to symptoms such as bloating, gas and changes in bowel habits, and is often discussed in relation to IBS and similar digestive conditions.
This breath test measures both hydrogen and methane after ingestion of lactulose, allowing for assessment of how these gases are produced over time. Measuring both gases can provide a more complete picture, as different types of bacteria produce different gases.

What is the difference between Lactulose and Glucose tests?
Lactulose is not absorbed and travels through the entire small intestine, making it more effective for detecting bacterial overgrowth in both the upper and lower sections.
Glucose is absorbed earlier in digestion, which means it may miss overgrowth further down the small intestine.
For this reason, lactulose is often preferred when a more comprehensive assessment is needed.
