Our lungs and the breath from them can provide us with valuable health information for many conditions, including sugar malabsorption, small bowel bacterial overgrowth and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, to name a few.

Hydrogen/Methane breath tests are a valuable tool that can be utilised to assist in diagnosing gastrointestinal issues. Expired breath tests are not as invasive as gastroscopies, biopsies and blood tests. The simple nature of these breath tests make them an effective tool towards diagnosing conditions which can then be treated. An improved quality of life may then be attained by the patient following specialist dietitian and/or gastroenterologist guidance.

Stream Diagnostics provides a range of Hydrogen/Methane breath tests for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) - related issues such as Fructose Malabsorption, Lactose Intolerance, Sorbitol Malabsorption and Small Bowel Bacterial Overgrowth. People often refer to these as 'Sugar Allergy', and report a variety of symptoms like stomach noises.

Working closely with Monash University Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Stream Diagnostics is a leader in the provision of breath methane and hydrogen testing and diagnosis.
