Are you suffering from bloating, abdominal cramps or vague digestive complaints? The hydrogen exhalation test is a painless, non-invasive method to accurately identify lactose or fructose intolerance and contaminated small intestine syndrome (SIBO). Get answers to your questions at our state-of-the-art diagnostic centres!
Post-dairy bloating: If you feel tightness after eating dairy foods.
Abdominal cramps after fruit: If fructose (fructose) causes irritation.
Regular diarrhoea: Urgency to defecate of unknown origin, associated with food.
Increased gas formation: Uncomfortable bloating that affects your everyday comfort.
Nausea and sickness: Complaints after eating certain types of sugar.
SIBO suspected: When the balance of the gut flora is upset and bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine is suspected.
Food intolerance screening: If you want to get to the bottom of what is causing your recurrent digestive problems.
To claim a tax credit: If you are suspected of being lactose intolerant and you need an official medical certificate.
I.
In our centres, we also measure lactose (milk sugar), fructose (fructose) and lactulose (for filtering SIBO). This complexity allows us to target the source of the problem and not just draw general conclusions.
II.
We are aware of the legal requirements. We strictly follow the double protocol for lactose intolerance (negative lactulose test followed by a positive lactose test), so you can obtain the medical specialist papers that entitle you to personal tax relief.
III.
In addition to Budapest, we also welcome patients in Debrecen, Dombóvár, Gyula, Siófok, Esztergom and Szolnok. Our modern equipment and trained assistants guarantee the accuracy of measurements and the comfort of patients during the examination.
At the beginning of 2018, the condition for the issue of a medical certificate entitling to the tax reduction is the exclusion of curable intestinal infections in the case of lactose intolerance negative lactulose H2 breath test, and subsequently positive lactose H2 breath test. You can find a medical explanation here.
with fructose h2 exhalation test during the fructose intolerance, or fructose intolerance can be shown. If you experience regular unpleasant symptoms after eating fruit - cramping stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating or diarrhoea - it is worth checking whether your symptoms are caused by a fructose intolerance.
with lactose h2 breath test with lactose intolerance, or lactose intolerance can be used to detect. Lactose - or milk sugar - is mainly found in milk and milk products, but can also be found in many other foods. This test should be performed if you experience unpleasant abdominal symptoms (stomach pain, bloating, intestinal cramps...) after consuming dairy products.
with h2 exhalation test with lactulose can be used to detect abnormally overgrown bacteria in the small intestine - i.e. contaminated small bowel syndrome indirectly
However, be prepared for these tests to last up to 180 minutes and to follow certain special dietary habits before the test - see individual tests for more details.
If you experience regular, unpleasant abdominal symptoms after eating fruit, it is worth checking whether your symptoms are caused by a fructose intolerance
A simple, painless way to diagnose lactose intolerance is to perform a so-called H2, or hydrogen breath test.
This test detects the hydrogen produced by exposure to lactulose from the blown air using an instrumented method.
