Diagnosing Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth: A Comparison of Lactulose Breath Tests to Small Bowel Aspirates

David J. Cangemi et al.

Summary: This study found poor agreement between lactulose breath test (LBT) and duodenal aspiration (DA) in the evaluation of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). LBT may be more favorable than DA due to being safer, cheaper, and less likely to yield a contaminated result. Patients with diabetes mellitus or proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use were more likely to have a positive result in DA, while those with a history of small bowel resection were more likely to have a positive result in LBT.
