Sample type	Atemluft, 7 Proben
Method	Gaschromatographie
Turnaround	7–21 days from sample arrival
Analysis	Partner laboratory in Germany

Evaluation usually takes 7–21 days from the arrival of your sample at the laboratory, not from the order date. We let you know as soon as your results are in.

A direct functional test Drink the test solution, then measure breath gas for 150 minutes
Gas chromatography Precise measurement of hydrogen and methane in the partner laboratory
Can be done at home No doctor's visit needed, about 150 minutes in total
Results consultation included Evaluation by the expert team

Principle

Measure first, then decide

Without measured values, any treatment is guesswork. We turn the order around: the lab report first, then the decision.

A consultation to make sense of the values

01
Measure Hydrogen and methane in breath gas over 150 minutes, analysed in the partner laboratory in Germany.
SIBO breath test · breath, 7 samples · 7–21 days from sample arrival
02
See where you stand Every value is in the lab report with the lab's reference range. You can see which values sit inside it and which do not.
Lab report including a consultation
03
Targeted, not generic Instead of a standard package you take what your values point to — agreed with a practitioner.
Initial consultation, 10 minutes, free
04
Measure again after a few months Running the same analysis a second time shows how the values have changed.
Earliest sensible gap: 3 months

ORY experts stay with you

Doctors and Heilpraktiker from the ORY team are there for you the whole way — with your lab report and with whatever follows.

Initial consultation

What a value means, and whether a supplement is right for you, is something to discuss with a practitioner. This page makes no recommendation and is no substitute for medical assessment.

Details

What is in this analysis

What is measured

Hydrogen (H₂) and methane (CH₄) in breath gas across seven samples — indications of bacterial fermentation in the small intestine.

B105 Hydrogen (H₂) in breath gas A sign of bacterial fermentation in the small intestine

B105 Methane (CH₄) in breath gas An additional marker, raised in some people instead of or alongside H₂

The biomarker reference explains what lies behind the numbers: how values interact, which cofactors are involved and which biochemical processes take place in the body — for all values and areas, not only this analysis.

To the biomarker reference

For whom

The SIBO breath test is suitable for bloating, abdominal pain and pressure, diarrhoea or constipation, a feeling of fullness, and brain fog and exhaustion that could be connected with an increased number of bacteria in the small intestine.

What a single value means in your situation is something you discuss with a practitioner. This does not replace medical assessment.

How it works

Four steps from order to lab report.

01 Kit arrives Ships the next working day, postage paid to your door.
02 Reference sample & test solution A fasting reference sample, then drink the test solution.
03 Measure breath gas Blow seven samples into tubes over 150 minutes.
04 Get your lab report 7–21 days after the sample arrives, consultation included.

Instructions

The key points first:

Start on an empty stomach: reference sample (tube 1) before drinking the test solution.
After drinking the test solution, blow into the tubes at set intervals up to 150 minutes.
Send all tubes back together, labelled.

Please read the instructions carefully. Correct preparation matters: it is what allows your sample — stool, urine, saliva or blood — to be evaluated cleanly and meaningfully.

Sending your sample back

So your sample reaches the laboratory safely, please follow the rule for your country.

Country	Postage	Shipping
Germany	Already paid	Return postage is prepared, you do not need to add a stamp.
Austria	Add your own postage	To our address in Vienna, not to Germany.
Switzerland	Add your own postage	Separate return bag for Switzerland, sent to Germany.
Rest of Europe	Add your own postage	Sent to Germany.

In short: Germany is all set. Austria, add postage and send to Vienna. Switzerland, add postage, special bag, send to Germany. Rest of Europe, add postage and send to Germany.

Family and partner diagnostics

Testing together shows connections that a single analysis does not make visible. We need three things for that.

Clear details per person For everyone being tested we need a name and date of birth so the laboratory can match everything correctly.

A separate email address Each person needs their own email for secure digital access. Where that is not possible, we send the results as a PDF to one shared address.

Clear labelling Samples and forms must each be assigned to exactly the right person.

From three tests of the same analysis for the family you get 10 % off. Write to us and you will receive your own discount code.

Reimbursement by private health insurance

This is how it works with us if your private insurance may reimburse you:

01 A short online conversation with one of our therapists We go through your symptoms and put together a short medical history.

02 A referral for the relevant lab tests After the conversation you receive a referral that you can submit to your private insurer.

Many private insurers cover the cost in full or in part – some not at all. That depends solely on your contract. We support you through the process as well as we can.
