HOW THIS TEST WORKS

When your gut bacteria digest food, they produce gas. These gasses pass through your intestinal walls into your bloodstream. Some of this gas ends up in your lungs, and you breathe it out.

The test collects samples of your breath over a short period of time.

The breath samples are collected via the home kit and sent to our pathology partners where they are tested for the levels of Hydrogen and Methane that you have exhaled.

These levels tell us whereabouts bacteria are fermenting in your intestinal system, and how much gas they are creating.

FOLLOW UP ( not included in the price of the testing )

With the knowledge gained from the test results our Clinical Nutritionists who are specially trained in FODMAPs can be booked for an appointment to advise on your test results and the best treatment and dietary regime to get you more comfortable.

Test results should generally be available within a working week. In order not to have to wait for an appointment date you can book ahead by following this link…

Description

Fructose

Fructose, often described as ‘fruit sugar’, is a monosaccharide found naturally in all fruits, most vegetables, honey, and is commonly added to food and drink as a sweetener (as fructose or high-fructose corn syrup). Fructose is thought to be absorbed in the small intestine by facilitated diffusion (through a luminal transporter) and paracellular transport (with glucose). In paediatric patients, there is growing evidence that a significant percentage of children with recurrent abdominal pain of childhood (RAPC) have fructose intolerance.

Fructose shouldn’t be confused with fructans, which are chains of fructose molecules naturally occurring in a variety of vegetables and grains. Humans cannot digest fructans, so they are instead fermented by bacteria in the gut. While this can provide health benefits to some, it may cause gastrointestinal distress in others.
