GASTRO - CA4458
SUNVOU GASTRO CA4458 SIBO Measurement Device
1. Device measures Gastro-intestinal Parameters from Exhaled Human Breath.
2. H2 and CH4 can be measured separately all-in-one device.
3. Both Online-Direct Connected to Device and Offline-Off-Site-Sampling can be done properly.
4. Biomarkers: H2 + CH4
5. Auto-Calibration
6. Measurement Range: 0-200 ppb for H2 and 0-75ppb for CH4
TEST PROCEDURE
The test procedure typically involves the patient fasting overnight and then consuming a sugar solution. Breath samples are collected at baseline (before consuming the sugar solution) and at regular intervals thereafter, usually every 15 to 20 minutes, for a period of 2 to 3 hours. The collected breath samples are then analyzed for hydrogen and methane concentrations.
The interpretation of the results depends on the rise in gas levels over time from the baseline. A significant increase in hydrogen and/or methane levels during the test suggests the presence of SIBO. The specific criteria for what constitutes a positive result can vary, but generally, an increase in hydrogen of 20 parts per million (ppm) or more above baseline within the test period, or a methane level of 10 ppm or more at any time, is considered indicative of SIBO.
Some tests may also measure carbon dioxide (CO2) levels to ensure that the breath samples are valid and that the person has followed the test instructions properly.
Biomarkers of SIBO Testing:
Hydrogen (H2): When bacteria in the small intestine ferment carbohydrates, they produce hydrogen gas. Elevated levels of hydrogen in the breath after ingestion of a test sugar solution (usually glucose or lactulose) indicate that bacteria are fermenting the sugar in the small intestine, suggesting the presence of SIBO.
Methane (CH4): Some types of bacteria in the gut can convert hydrogen into methane. High levels of methane in the breath are associated with constipation-predominant symptoms and have been linked to a specific form of bacterial overgrowth involving methanogenic archaea. Methane production is particularly associated with slower transit times through the intestines.

Your Brain is your Gut!
Symptoms of SIBO
Symptoms of SIBO can vary but often include:
Bloating and gas
Diarrhea
Abdominal pain or cramping
Constipation (less common)
Nausea
Fatigue
Weight loss and malnutrition, as the overgrowth can interfere with nutrient absorption
Causes
SIBO can be caused by a variety of factors that affect the normal movement of the digestive system, including:
Structural issues in the small intestine from surgeries or diseases
Conditions that slow down the passage of food and waste, such as diabetes or scleroderma
Medications that affect gut motility, including opioids
Other conditions that disrupt the normal gut flora balance
