The Sorbitol Breath Test diagnoses sorbitol malabsorption in a non-invasive way. Sorbitol is a polyol (sugar alcohol) naturally found in fruits such as apples, pears, peaches and plums, and it is also used as a sweetener in sugar-free ("light" or sugar-free) products. Sorbitol malabsorption can cause digestive symptoms such as bloating, gas, diarrhoea and abdominal pain, which are often mistaken for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or gut dysbiosis.

Together with the Food Intolerance Test and the Clinical Gut Microbiome, the Sorbitol Breath Test completes the assessment of functional food intolerances. Results are available in approximately 7 working

Descripción

The Sorbitol Intolerance Test consists of ingesting a solution containing this sweetener, followed by collecting breath samples every 30 minutes for 3 and a half hours (210 minutes in total).
Under normal conditions, sorbitol is absorbed in the small intestine. When this does not happen, it passes to the colon, where it is fermented by intestinal bacteria that produce gases such as hydrogen and methane. These gases enter the bloodstream and are eliminated through exhaled air, allowing them to be detected with a breath test.
Thanks to this test, it is possible to confirm if sorbitol malabsorption is the cause of your digestive discomfort and guide a personalized dietary treatment.

¿Is it suitable for me?

This test is for you if:
•You experience digestive discomfort after consuming apples, pears, plums or products sweetened with sorbitol.
•You suspect sorbitol malabsorption or FODMAP intolerance as part of your food intolerance profile.
•You would like to complete your assessment of functional intolerances together with the Food Intolerance Test 200.
