Core Tip Bloating and distention are often attributed to dietary factors by patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Recently, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) has been advocated as a pathogenetic factor of IBS. Sugar malabsorption in the bowel can lead to bloating, cramps, diarrhea and other symptoms of IBS as well as affecting absorption of other nutrients. The breath test is now a well-established noninvasive test for assessing malabsorption of sugars in the small intestine. The glucose breath test has been reported as a better diagnostic method for determination of SIBO. Therefore, this review highlights the role of breath tests in diagnosis and management of IBS.
