SIBO - Glucose
Could SIBO be the root cause of your gut issues?
The large intestine is packed with bacteria, whilst the small intestine typically contains very few bacteria. If the small intestine becomes overgrown with bacteria it can lead to malabsorption of key nutrients, causing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, bloating, fatigue, malabsorption of nutrients and weight loss. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is also thought to be a possible factor in some cases of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
What's included
Hydrogen and methane measured in parts per million at baseline, then at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes. Glucose is absorbed quickly, so a rise points to overgrowth higher in the small intestine, closer to the stomach. A hydrogen rise of about 20 ppm above baseline by 90 minutes is the threshold commonly used to flag bacterial overgrowth.
