Sorbitol Intolerance Test

Unisex

GetTested’s Sorbitol Intolerance Test is an at home breath test for people who want to understand whether sorbitol may be part of the reason behind bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort, cramps, intestinal sounds or diarrhoea.

If symptoms often appear after fruit, sugar free gum, sweets, low calorie products or sorbitol containing foods, this test can help you investigate whether poor sorbitol absorption may be involved.

The test measures hydrogen and methane in breath samples collected after sorbitol intake, giving insight into how your gut responds when sorbitol reaches the digestive system.

About Sorbitol Intolerance Test

Sorbitol Intolerance and Digestive Symptoms

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol found naturally in foods such as apples, pears, plums, cherries, peaches, apricots and berries. It is also commonly used as a sweetener in sugar free and low calorie products.

When sorbitol is not absorbed efficiently in the small intestine, it can continue into the large intestine where gut bacteria ferment it. This fermentation may produce gases and contribute to symptoms such as bloating, gas, cramps, abdominal discomfort and diarrhoea.

By measuring breath gases after sorbitol intake, the test can help show whether sorbitol may be a relevant digestive trigger.
