Sucrose Intolerance Breath Test

Sucrose intolerance is a digestive condition characterised by impaired absorption of sucrose, leading to elevated fructose levels in the intestine. It frequently occurs in individuals exhibiting symptoms similar to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Because these symptoms overlap, patients with sucrose intolerance often resemble those diagnosed with IBS, making accurate diagnosis crucial. This at-home breath test measures Hydrogen and Methane gases produced when gut bacteria ferment unabsorbed fructose, helping to identify whether sucrose malabsorption is present. The test supports diagnosis by detecting gas increases linked to symptoms like bloating, constipation, and diarrhoea.
