SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) is a condition that can cause digestive problems. Approximately 10-15% of the world's population suffers from IBS and in approximately 70-80% of cases, SIBO is the cause. Our SIBO Breath Test is a non-invasive diagnostic method for this condition. The At-home test measures the concentration of hydrogen and methane gases in the breath, which are produced when bacteria in the small intestine ferment carbohydrates.

Elevated levels of these gases may indicate the presence of SIBO. The test is critical for early detection and treatment of SIBO to prevent further complications such as malnutrition. The SIBO Breath Test can be done at home, saving both time and money.
