In this video, Dr Hagmeyer explains the different kinds of breath testing, Hydrogen, Methane, Glucose and lactulose. The benefits of each are explained as well as the shortcomings of each test. 
Depending on which study you read, anywhere between 50-80% of people who have been diagnosed with IBS have SIBO. Now it might seem odd that collecting your breath is going to tell you something about a problem in your gut, so let me explain this a little bit. First off, within our large intestines, we have an environment that is teaming with bacteria. This is what we call the micro biome.

The primary function of the colonic bacteria making up the microbiome, is the fermentation of non-digestible carbohydrates, and starches resulting in the formation of short chain fatty acids.
SIBO occurs when an overgrowth of bacteria begin to overpopulate the small intestine. This can impair digestion and absorption of several nutrients and can thus contribute to the fatigue, Brain Fog, Fat malabsorption, Mucosal damage, and more. In this video I explain How SIBO Causes Chronic Fatigue, Brain Fog, B12 deficiency and More.
