Comparative Assessment of Radioisotope Glucose and Breath Test

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth

In brief

This is a research study about improving our diagnostic method for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Patients undergoing Standard of Care (SOC) Endoscopically assisted glucose breath test (EAGBT) will undergo upper endoscopy and glucose breath tests. In this study, investigators wish to utilize Nuclear Medicine techniques to locate where the glucose solution that is administered during EAGBT is being consumed by bacteria is in the small bowel when it detects SIBO.
