Our well-being check-ups
TestSIBOcheck-up
PRICE:
CHF 181.60
PERIOD:
1 to 2 weeks
NATURE OF THE SAMPLE:
Blood sample
A check-up to explore the originof persistent digestive disorders
Bloating, abdominal pain, alternating diarrhea/constipation, fatigue…
What if these chronic symptoms were linked to a bacterial imbalance in the small intestine?
The SIBO check-up (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) enables to detect an abnormal growth of bacteria in this area, which is usually not heavily colonized, and consider appropriate treatment.
Who is it for?
- You suffer from frequent digestive disorders (pain, gas, bloating, gastric reflux, frequent burps, alternating diarrhea/constipation),
- You are diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, without improvement,
- You suspect a chronic inflammatory state,
- You would like to understand the link between your digestion and systemic symptoms (skin, fatigue, mood…).
Why sould I choose the SIBO check-up?
To better understand chronic digestive disorders
Bloating, pain, gastric reflux, diarrhea or constipation: these symptoms are often poorly explained and sometimes poorly treated
To refine a diagnosis, to guide treatment
If you have already explored irritable bowel syndrome, malabsorption, or intolerance, this can be another tool to inform clinical decisions
Support personalized follow-up based on reliable data
A clear result, sent to your doctor, to better target treatments and monitor evolution
Advantages of a SIBO check-up
- Identify an often overlooked but common cause of digestive problems
- Receive a simple, non-invasive test, to be done at home
- Better target a treatment or prevention protocol with a healthcare professional
- Access a unique screening solution in Romandy
What is the purpose of this check-up?
The SIBO check-up enables to measure the concentration of certain gas produced by bacteria in the small intestine, to evaluate a potential abnormal growth.
Analyzed markers:
- Hydrogen (H₂)
Produced during sugar fermentation. An excess may indicate a bacterial proliferation with a predominance of fermentation - Methane (CH₄)
Associated with slow transit (constipation). High levels may indicate a specific form of SIBO
⚠ An interpretation with an expert is recommended. Our check-ups do not replace medical advice.
Three steps to understand and take action
1.
Take the sample at home
Fasting, for 3 hours.
Follow the protocol, step by step, independently
2.
Analysis of exhaled breath, every 20 minutes
Hydrogen, methane: these are key indicators to understand what is going on in your small intestine
3.
Results interpretable by your doctor
A detailed analysis and a clear report to share with your healthcare professional
What the test can reveal:
- A bacterial proliferation in the small intestine
- An abnormal sugar fermentation
- An approach to explore in cases of digestive disorders, chronic fatigue, or related conditions (rosacea, fibromyalgia, etc.)
What changes?
A simple and non-invasive screening, to support more precise and better tailored care for each patient
