SIBO Testing – Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth
Genova’s SIBO Profiles are non-invasive breath tests which capture exhaled hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4) gases following patient ingestion of a Lactulose ℞ solution to evaluate small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO).
Clinicians have the option of a 2 or 3-hour SIBO assessment. The 3-hour SIBO profile provides insight into gas levels over a longer time frame and is recommended for patients with slower gastrointestinal transit or constipation. Additionally, a flatline result in the third hour could indicate the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas.
SIBO is a common clinical condition characterized by excessive bacteria in the small intestine and can develop in a variety of patient populations.
Symptoms and conditions commonly associated with SIBO include:
- Bloating/distension
- Gas
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Abdominal pain
- Dyspepsia
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
- Celiac Disease
- Diabetes
- Fibromyalgia
- Rosacea
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Obesity
Risk factors for development of SIBO include:
- Intestinal motility disorders
- Chronic pancreatitis
- Abdominal structural/anatomic issues
- Gastroenteritis
- Immunocompromise
- Decreased bacteriostatic digestive secretions (HCl, pancreatic enzymes, bile acids) such as with PPI use
- Ileocecal valve dysfunction
If left untreated, SIBO can lead to complications such as malabsorption and intestinal permeability, or leaky gut.
