The Smarter SIBO Test
Clinician-guided SIBO breath testing you can complete at home.
The Problem
Could SIBO Be Behind Your Gut Issues?
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when too many bacteria build up in the small intestine, which normally contains relatively few. This imbalance can cause gas, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation.
Many people with symptoms similar to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may actually have SIBO. Testing and identifying SIBO is important because it can be successfully treated in up to 85% of people.

Insights
Simple Repeat Testing
SIBO can return over time, even after successful treatment.
With standard single-use kits, retesting often means starting again with a new device, or a new testing kit.
With OMED Health, your clinician can request repeat SIBO tests using the same reusable device, helping you track progress, monitor treatment, and check for recurrence, with expert review each time.

Why isn’t one SIBO test always enough?
Digestive conditions can change. Many people repeat the SIBO breath test at home after completing treatment to check if SIBO has cleared; during diet or lifestyle changes to monitor progress; or if symptoms return months or years later. Traditional kits are single-use but the OMED Breath Analyzer is reusable, so you can test again without buying a whole new SIBO test kit.
How often can I use the Breath Analyzer?
The Breath Analyzer is reusable and you can provide breath samples as required. For example, to monitor the effects of certain foods or to track progress during treatment.
How accurate is the OMED Health SIBO test compared with postal kits?
The OMED Health Breath Analyzer has published performance data showing a mean absolute error of ~3.8 ppm for hydrogen and ~2.3 ppm for methane comparable with standard hospital breath testing. This accurate methane measurement is critical and is historically one of the most challenging gases to measure reliably at home. As you’re not mailing samples, there’s less risk of loss or degradation, and the App reduces user error. Read more here.
How long does the at-home SIBO test take?
The entire at home SIBO test process usually takes about 2–3 hours, with breath samples collected every 15–20 minutes after ingesting the test solution (substrate). Results are available quickly via the App.
