Why is the home fructose breath test an important test?

A fructose breath test (FRT) is a specialized test used to investigate fructose intolerance. It is used to determine whether or not someone suffers from fructose intolerance. The test can be used as part of a diagnostic process for various gastrointestinal disorders where fructose intolerance is suspected. In this test, the person's breath is measured to determine whether they react normally when consuming fructose. The FRT offers a quick and efficient method for diagnosing fructose intolerance. It can also be used as a screening procedure for digestive disorders where the exact substance responsible for the symptoms is unknown. If the home fructose breath test is positive, it means that the person has difficulty breaking down and digesting the fructose contained in food. It is therefore very likely that they suffer from an intolerance to this substance.

How is the fructose breath test performed at home?

There are various methods for conducting a fructose test at home . We offer a quick and easy fructose breath test for home use. The most commonly used test involves consuming fructose in combination with liquid. The test then measures the person's breath after 20 minutes and then at intervals of another 20 minutes. In people without intolerance, the breath value should not change significantly within this period; however, in people with intolerance, the breath value increases significantly. The test results quickly provide information about possible causes of digestive problems and thus help in deciding on the appropriate treatment method.
