Episode notes
Early But Actionable Findings
- Hydrogen sulfide SIBO and SIFO are newly testable and clinically important but still in early research stages.
- Clinicians should integrate new findings into a broader, personalized gut-healing plan rather than chase a single magic treatment.
Trio Smart Breath Test Arrives
- The new Trio Smart breath test measures hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide, improving diagnostic capability.
- Clinics can compare pre/post symptom scores to evaluate hydrogen sulfide-targeted treatments and diagnostic yield.
Why Flatline Breath Tests Happen
- Hydrogen sulfide bacteria consume hydrogen and can mask hydrogen/methane breath levels, sometimes producing flatline tests.
- But flatlines are not universal, so clinical signs and direct hydrogen sulfide testing both matter.
