SIBO Breath Test
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a common condition where there is an abnormal increase in the number of bacteria in the small intestine, which can cause a variety of digestive symptoms. Normally, the small intestine has a small number of bacteria, but in SIBO, the bacteria from the colon migrate upward and grow in the small intestine. This can lead to symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, malabsorption of nutrients, and intestinal permeability (leaky gut).
Underlying factors that can contribute to the development of SIBO include impaired small bowel motility (due neurologic disorders), structural abnormalities (from Crohn’s disease), medications (such as PPIs – proton pump inhibitors used to treat acid reflux), weakened immunity, and certain dietary factors.
This non-invasive breath test can help to determine the presence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. It involves drinking a solution of lactulose, a type of sugar that is not fully digested in the small intestine, but is instead fermented by bacteria. As the bacteria ferment the lactulose, they produce gases such as hydrogen and methane, which are then exhaled and measured in the breath. This test measures the levels of these gases over a period of 3 hours. Abnormal levels of hydrogen and/or methane in the breath can indicate the presence of SIBO.

from 691 reviewsExcellent Vitamin, I have been taking for years, it improved my numbers faster than any other brand. I also LOVE VIllage Green Pharmacy and the entire staff, they are incredibly helpful. Love the sales too. Thank you & Happy Thanksgiving.
My doctor prescribed a supplement blend with this in it, and then he closed his business to enjoy other pursuits. This was a great replacement as it calmed my nerves and helped my joint pain. I highly recommend it!
Great experience
I am so grateful for this protection option. This added protection came in handy. I live in an apartment complex and my mail carrier often loses my packages. When given the option for the package protection I knew I would likely need it and wouldn’t you know, I would have lost my money if it weren’t for the protection. I will continue to order from you and use this protection in the future.
As a colon cancer survivor of 26 years I have had quite a journey and the most important component for me like millions of people has been my digestive tract .
Probiotics have helped me tremendously after years of bowel instructions and not knowing how to help myself without medication and side effects .
I am a lifer for probiotics, and they can prevent illness as well , for those who have the opportunity to do so .
Both me and my husband enjoy these papaya enzymes. Can’t get enough of them.
A friend suggested your products for my father who has been diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. Since my father has been on a regimen of suggested supplements to take, his symptoms have significantly lessened and he doesn’t have to take those harsh medications that will shorten his life span. This has truly been a miracle and a blessing. Hallelujah Thank you Jesus!
Slimprobio is really helping me to lose weight plus it has so many good probiotics. Really like it.
I have Fibromyalgia. The brain fog I was experiencing was debilitating. There were days that it was nearly impossible to think, speak, or remember what was said moments before. A friend mentioned taking Lion’s Mane. Not long after taking the Mushroom Science brand all those problems disappeared. Another thing that changed was my energy level, which was an added bonus. I am grateful.
I don't know why but, not recieved. I LOVE the product but, for some unknown reason the USPS said "incomplete address". I believe that email was a scam because they DIDN'T just ask for my address they asked for a credit card number!?!
great product
Works great I feel much better
These drops were recommended to me by a Holistic Doctor; they are very easily absorbed and do not cause any somach/gut issues. The combination of D3 and K2 are essential for maturing women and bone health. The drops do not taste like anything so there is no bad taste.
I was delighted to find a company carrying my favorite cough drop with the natural sweetener Stevia that does not promote to decay. I’m happy with the product and the company.
I used to order this product from Amazon and it became increasingly difficult to obtain and would arrive with the seal broken and leaking. Village Green has been able to fill every order and the package comes secure and not broken. I appreciate it.
