Fructose intolerance

75.00 VAT included
ABOUT THE TEST The test consists of administering a fructose solution orally and collecting the exhaled air at different times. (each 30 minutes), to determine the amount of hydrogen and/or methane exhaled through the breath. The total duration of the test is 3 hours and a half (210 minutes). Under normal conditions, fructose is absorbed in the small intestine.. If there is insufficient absorption of fructose due to a deficiency in its intestinal transporter, This reaches the large intestine where it is fermented by resident bacteria., producing gases (hydrogen and/or methane) which are partially absorbed by the blood and expelled through the breath. Thus, according to the results obtained for expired hydrogen and/or methane for each intake, we can detect a possible fructose intolerance. To interpret the results you should go to a specialist who knows your clinical situation., This being essential in the event that any of the results are positive.

Impaired glucose tolerance

ABOUT THE TEST The test consists of administering a glucose solution orally and collecting the exhaled air at different times. (each 30 minutes), to determine the amount of hydrogen and/or methane exhaled through the breath. The total duration of the test is 3 hours and a half (210 minutes). Under normal conditions, glucose is absorbed in the small intestine.. If there is insufficient absorption of glucose due to a deficiency in its intestinal transporter, This reaches the large intestine where it is fermented by resident bacteria., producing gases (hydrogen and/or methane) which are partially absorbed by the blood and expelled through the breath. Thus, according to results obtained from expired hydrogen and/or methane for each intake, we can detect a possible glucose intolerance. To interpret the results you should go to a specialist who knows your clinical situation., This being essential in the event that any of the results are positive.

Bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) + IMO

75.00 VAT included
Detection of bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine (SIBO) and intestinal methanogenic overgrowth (IMO). DESCRIPTION: The EXPIRED HYDROGEN AND METHANE TEST is a functional test to evaluate bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. (SIBO) and methanogenic intestinal overgrowth (IMO), O well, certain food intolerances to carbohydrates. For the detection of SIBO and/or IMO, lactitol or lactulose is administered, which, under normal conditions, fermented in the large intestine by bacteria and archaea (methanógenos), generating hydrogen and methane. These gases partially diffuse into the blood and are eliminated through the breath.. Nevertheless, based on the values ​​obtained for hydrogen and methane exhaled at different times and the evolution of the data, This test allows you to detect SIBO and/or IMO.
