Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, commonly known as SIBO, is a digestive syndrome caused by an abnormal increase in bacterial population in the small intestine. It can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain or bloating, gas, diarrhea, nausea, or unintentional weight loss.
Since these symptoms are common to many intestinal conditions, it’s essential to consult a specialist for an accurate evaluation. The most widely used test to diagnose SIBO is the Hydrogen Breath Test — a non-invasive and completely painless technique.
Dr. Just, gastroenterologist at CreuBlanca, explains in this video how the test works and when it is recommended.
At CreuBlanca, we offer the option to take the Hydrogen Breath Test either during a consultation with a specialist or from the comfort of your home. If you choose the at-home option, we’ll provide you with a kit containing detailed instructions and all the materials needed to collect your breath samples correctly.
