Order Hydrogen Methane Testing
There are two conditions in your gut that can lead to similar symptoms as Irritable Bowel Syndrome: SIBO and IMO.
a) SIBO stands for "Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth". This is a condition where bacteria can grow excessively in small intestine, leading to many "not so nice" symptoms.
b) IMO stands for "Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth". This is a condition where a micro-organism called "methanogen" grows in the intestines and cause many unpleasant symptoms including chronic constipation.
A hydrogen/methane breath test using a lactulose solution is a good way to measure if you have SIBO or IMO
It is recommended that you work with your GP to see
if there are pathological causes for your symptoms before you take Hydrogen Methane Breath Test.
Please read the article on SIBO/IMO/SIFO before ordering this test.
