Breath Tests
Breath tests are simple, non-invasive diagnostic tools used to detect various gastrointestinal disorders. They help evaluate how the digestive system is functioning and are particularly useful in diagnosing conditions like lactose intolerance, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. These tests provide accurate, real-time insights and are safe, painless, and quick to perform.
