A member asked:
Lactulose breath test... at 90 minutes... reading was 30 ppm of hydrogen. is that considered positive for sibo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends...: The absolute value makes no difference in interpreting a hbt. The amount of increase over baseline is what determines a positive from a negative test.
