Abstract

Systems and methods have been developed for implementation of a breath testing system for convenient sampling of intestinal gases exhaled from a patient's breath. This may include a system with a manifold that includes thermal regulation components, for instance thermistors and resistive heating elements, which maintain the temperature of the gases above the body temperature of the patient. In some examples, the system will determine an indication of whether a patient has SIBO by adjusting a change in exhaled hydrogen concentration by a methane level exhaled by a patient.
