Chronic bloating isn’t normal. It might be SIBO.
If you’ve been dealing with persistent bloating, excessive gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation — and nothing seems to help — small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) could be the underlying cause. SIBO occurs when bacteria that normally live in the large intestine migrate into the small intestine, where they ferment food prematurely and produce gas.
The problem is that SIBO is underdiagnosed in British Columbia because getting a breath test typically requires a gastroenterologist referral and an in-clinic visit. This SIBO breath test in BC lets you do it at home.
How the Test Works
The SIBO breath test measures hydrogen and methane gases in your breath after drinking a sugar solution. Elevated levels at specific time points indicate bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. You’ll collect breath samples at intervals over 2 hours using the included collection tubes and instructions.
Who Is This Test For?
Anyone experiencing chronic bloating or abdominal distension, excessive gas, abdominal pain or cramping, alternating diarrhea and constipation, symptoms that worsen after eating carbohydrates or fiber, IBS-like symptoms that haven’t responded to standard treatment, or anyone who suspects SIBO based on their own research.
What You’ll Receive
A physician-reviewed report showing your hydrogen and methane levels at each breath collection interval, with clear interpretation of whether the results are consistent with SIBO. Delivered securely by email.
