Re: IgG antibody test - worth getting?       07/22/12 03:01 PM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA The h.pylori test is a legitimate test if given by a certified lab. This test is specific test for ulcer causing bacteria. Your GP should be able to it request it if deemed necessary and it will likely be covered by insurance. I believe lactulose has been replace with glucose in the hydrogen breath test for the SIBO. The lactulose test gave too many false positive results. Again it is likely covered by insurance if you GP or GI doctor requests it. Neither of these tests will help with an elimination diet. And the role of SIBO in IBS is still controversial. In the US is treatment for SIBO is a prescription of non-absorbable antibiotics. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
