What the Breath Test Measures
The intestinal breath test measures hydrogen and methane gases produced by bacteria after you drink a test sugar solution. Elevated levels and their timing help identify small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and carbohydrate malabsorption. It is a valuable test for people with bloating and gas, constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
