SIBO Breath Testing

Uncover the hidden cause of bloating, IBS, fatigue, and food sensitivities.

If you’re constantly bloated — especially after meals — and feel like everything you eat causes discomfort, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) could be the missing piece.

SIBO occurs when bacteria normally present in the large intestine begin to overgrow in the small intestine, where they ferment food too early and disrupt digestion. This can lead to a wide range of symptoms, often misdiagnosed as IBS, food intolerances, or even anxiety.

With SIBO Breath Testing, we can finally measure the gas levels produced by bacterial overgrowth, identify the root cause of your gut symptoms, and build a personalised plan to restore digestive function.

What is SIBO?

SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth — a condition where excess bacteria (or the wrong types) are present in the small intestine. These bacteria ferment carbohydrates and fibres from your food, producing excess hydrogen, methane, or hydrogen sulphide gases, which cause:

  • Bloating within 30–90 minutes of eating

  • Belching, flatulence, or abdominal distension

  • Constipation or diarrhoea (or both)

  • Nausea and indigestion

  • Poor absorption of nutrients

  • Brain fog and fatigue after meals

  • Food intolerances and histamine reactions

SIBO Testing I Offer

I use trusted Australian labs such as NutriPath to provide non-invasive, at-home breath testing using lactulose and/or glucose substrates.

SIBO 3-Gas Breath Test (Hydrogen, Methane, and Hydrogen Sulphide)
This test:
  • Measures exhaled gas levels every 20 minutes for 2–3 hours

  • Helps differentiate between constipation-dominant (methane), diarrhoea-dominant (hydrogen), or mixed/hydrogen sulphide dominant SIBO

  • Provides real-time insight into bacterial fermentation patterns in your small intestine

  • Guides precise, tailored treatment protocols — including anti-microbial, prokinetic, and dietary interventions

Why SIBO Testing Matters

 

Many women are misdiagnosed with IBS, when in reality, SIBO is the true root cause.

SIBO can also be the underlying trigger for a range of secondary conditions, including:

  • Acne, rosacea, and skin inflammation

  • Iron, B12, and nutrient deficiencies

  • Anxiety and nervous system dysregulation (via the gut-brain axis)

  • Histamine intolerance or MCAS

  • Hormonal imbalance and estrogen recirculation

  • Leaky gut and systemic inflammation

Getting an accurate diagnosis means we can stop the cycle of guessing and treat the exact type of bacterial overgrowth you have.

My Approach to SIBO Support

With over a decade of experience in clinical naturopathy and nutrition, and advanced expertise in neuroscience and gut-brain health, I offer a holistic approach to resolving SIBO — not just suppressing symptoms.

I guide you through:

  • Pre-testing dietary preparation

  • Breath test interpretation and diagnosis

  • Personalised eradication plans using evidence-based herbs, nutrients, and antimicrobials

  • Nervous system and vagus nerve support for better motility

  • Gut lining repair and microbiome rebalance

  • Reintroduction of foods and long-term relapse prevention

SIBO May Be Behind:
  • Chronic bloating, gas, or burping

  • Irregular bowel movements

  • Food sensitivities and histamine issues

  • Anxiety or mood symptoms linked to gut health

  • Fatigue, fogginess, or poor nutrient absorption

  • Worsening of gut issues on high-fibre or plant-heavy diets

  • Incomplete relief from low-FODMAP or elimination diets

What to Expect
  1. Gut-focused consultation and symptom mapping

  2. SIBO breath test kit delivered to your home

  3. Step-by-step guidance on test prep and collection

  4. In-depth interpretation of hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulphide markers
