How can a test be carried out?
- Hydrogen (H2) breath test - covered by health insurance: After considerable dietary restrictions three days previously, you will be given lactose or fructose in high concentrations. The Test duration subsequently amounts to three hours - This is the approximate duration of the passage to the large intestine. In the case of intolerance (no or reduced endogenous enzymatic breakdown), the respective sugar reaches the large intestine undigested. There it is metabolized by bacteria and causes discomfort due to gas formation during fermentation. Bacterial decomposition produces hydrogen, which can be measured by repeated measurements of the exhaled air.. We offer you the latest generation Gastrolyzer® (Bedfont). As we have reduced the number of patients in the waiting room due to the Covid-19 pandemic and particularly high hygiene measures have to be taken by means of special filter systems. Dates currently limited available.
