Assessing the Utility of Quantitative Fecal Fat Studies to Diagnose Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to understand how the results from a fecal fat test compare to results from the duodenal aspirate culture which was collected during a recent clinical EGD. The goal is to determine whether this less expensive, non-invasive test that can be performed at home can potentially be used in place of an EGD with fluid collection and culture, particularly to monitor response to treatment.
