INTRODUCTION

TAKE SOME OF THE GUESSWORK OUT OF YOUR GUT HEALTH DIAGNOSES

As a professional working in nutrition and healthcare, you’ll be well aware of the worldwide healthcare burden caused by the increasing prevalence of digestive illnesses. This burden, for both patients and professionals, is exacerbated by the difficulty in obtaining a reliable, accurate diagnosis that leads to an appropriate treatment pathway.

Breath testing is a simple, non-invasive way to investigate gastrointestinal health.

Through our partnership with gut health specialists at Functional Gut Clinic, we can offer your patients hydrogen and methane breath testing that can accurately confirm or eliminate the possibility of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or carbohydrate malabsorption. Functional Gut Clinic experts will also be on hand to interpret and discuss patient results, supporting you to support your patients.

Our breath test kits cost £249, well within the NHS tariff, and we’re already working with 15 NHS Trusts. Once the kit arrives back at our lab, results will typically be available in 2-3 working days.

SIBO Breath Test: Sample Report

This particular sample report is an example of the kind of report you would recieve if your patient had completed a hydrogen and methane breath test (HMBT) to assess for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). In this case the patient has tested positive for SIBO, with their test results compared to relevant diagnostic guidelines (both UK and NAC), in order to provide the most reliable outcomes.
