Nutrient Challenge Testing Is Not Equivalent to Scintigraphy-Lactulose Hydrogen Breath Testing in Diagnosing Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth.

Conclusions: This study could not show an equivalence of NCT and ScLHBT in diagnosing SIBO. A possible explanation might be the different transit times owing to unequal testing substances. The effect of this deviation in relation to consecutive therapy regimens should be tested in further prospective studies. PMID: 32989187 [PubMed]
