Breath test (Trio-Smart)

Breath

Performed by: Gemelli Biotech

Trio-smart is an advanced breath testing method used for diagnosing various conditions such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO), and excessive hydrogen production. This comprehensive breath test assesses the levels of hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide in a patient's breath, aiding healthcare providers in making accurate diagnoses and determining appropriate treatment plans. Trio-smart's precise measurements of these gases provide valuable insights into gastrointestinal health, allowing for targeted and effective management strategies tailored to the patient's specific needs.

Biomarkers included in this panel:

CH4

Utilization of breath methane levels for SIBO assessment is controversial largely due to a lack of validation related to diagnostic specifics such as timing and magnitude of increase; however, CH4 measurements are increasingly obtained to address oth

H2

Hydrogen is produced when certain bacteria in the small intestine consume sugars and produce hydrogen gas as a byproduct. Hydrogen levels are considered abnormal when they rise greater than ≥20 ppm (parts per million) from the baseline within 9

H2S

Trio-smart measures a third fermented gas, hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Which is produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria utilizing H2 to produce H2S. Clinical trials have noted that H2S is associated with diarrhea in patients. In a 2021 study, it was found
