SIBO breath test

Added value for the whole family: Joint diagnostics reveals important connections, supports genuine prevention and helps everyone to better understand nutrition, stress and health – and above all, to more easily take concrete, helpful steps.

• Clear data per person: For each person tested, we need their name and date of birth so that the laboratory can clearly identify them.
• Individual email address: Each person needs a unique email address for secure digital access. If this is not possible, we will send the results as a PDF to a shared address.
• Clear labeling: Samples and forms must each be assigned to the correct person.

💚 Together we make people healthy.

Please read the instructions carefully. Correct preparation is crucial so that your sample – stool, urine, saliva or blood – can be analyzed cleanly and meaningfully.

Diagnostic time: Please be patient.
Our laboratory analyses are precise, in-depth, and comprehensive. Therefore, the evaluation typically takes 7–21 days after the sample arrives at the laboratory.
Good diagnostics take time – and that's exactly the quality you get from us.

Here's how the process works for a possible reimbursement by your private insurance:

• A short online consultation with one of our therapists: During this consultation, we will clarify your symptoms and create a suitable, brief medical history.
• Referral for the appropriate laboratory tests: After the consultation, you will receive a referral which you can submit to your private insurance company.

Many private insurance companies cover the costs in full or in part – some, however, do not cover them at all. Unfortunately, this is normal and depends entirely on your policy. We will guide you through the process as best we can.

The SIBO breath test measures the concentration of hydrogen (H₂) and methane (CH₄) in your breath – at set intervals after taking a lactulose solution.

These two gases are produced when bacteria in the small intestine multiply improperly and ferment carbohydrates there. This process does not normally occur in a healthy small intestine.

The following is measured:
• Hydrogen (H₂): Indication of fermenting bacteria
• Methane (CH₄): Indication of methane-producing microorganisms (common in cases of blockage)
• Time course: The gas concentration is recorded regularly over 90 minutes.

What does the result tell us?

An early or significant increase in these gases indicates small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) – that is, bacterial overgrowth in the normally germ-free small intestine.
