Hydrogen monitor / exhaled
Helping Detect Gastro-intestinal Disorders The Gastro+ is a portable hand-held hydrogen breath test. It is designed to aid in the detection of gastro-intestinal disorders. It can be used as a lactose intolerance test, and to aid in the diagnosis of a variety of gastrointestinal disorders such as fructose intolerance and intestinal bacteria overgrowth.
Hydrogen Breath Testing: Otherwise known as HBT (Gastro+™)
HBT is a non-invasive, sensitive and specific means of diagnosing small bowel sugar malabsorption. They make use of gut bacteria’s ability to digest sugars and convert these to hydrogen, which is then absorbed into the blood and can be measured in exhaled breath.
The test is commonly used in neonate, paediatric and adult gastroenterology departments to diagnose malabsorption of the sugars lactose, fructose and sucrose. It is also used to investigate small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
The Gastrolyzer range is world renowned for delivering accurate hydrogen breath testing, cited by clinical leaders in gastroenterology, such as Robert Heuschkel and Way Seah Lee.
