What it involves

Detects lactose intolerance, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and unusually rapid intestinal transit - three common and very treatable causes of bloating, wind and loose motions.

You might be advised this if you have

  • Bloating and excess wind after meals
  • Loose motions after milk or dairy
  • Suspected bacterial overgrowth

Preparing for it

Preparation is the part patients most often get wrong, and it is the part that most often causes a procedure to be repeated. Our full instructions — including bowel preparation, fasting times, which of your regular medicines to continue and which to stop — are on the preparation page. Please read it before the day.
