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 )
