Why Should I Get Tested?

Typically doctors and hospitals draw blood or perform biopsies to help assess various IBS related issues.

However, did you know that for almost 50 years now, non-invasive testing with breath has been able to help people find answers to their IBS related issues?

Many people complain about belly aches, gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation and other non-specific Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) type symptoms. Did you know that many of these symptoms are caused by the absence of enzymes (e.g lactose intolerance which is due to not having enough lactase enzyme to break down lactose) or an overgrowth of bacteria in your small bowel, which normally contains no bacteria.

Did you know that some studies have linked Roscea to SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and patients that were treated for SIBO expierence a remission in their Roscea? See the study here: Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth in Rosacea: Clinical Effectiveness of Its Eradication.

Most symptoms and IBS issues can be managed by simple dietary changes (in the case of Lactose Malabsorption) or with a short course of antibiotics (in the case of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).

But the easiest way to find out if you need help with any of these IBS issues is to be tested.

Below is a list of various tests available from the online store.
