SIBO Testing

Breath Test with Registered Dietitian
At Elysian Wellness, we are one of the only clinics in Canada offering SIBO breath testing through a Registered Dietitian without requiring a physician referral. This allows patients to access advanced gut health testing quickly while receiving professional guidance and personalized nutrition support throughout the entire process.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a common but often overlooked cause of digestive symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, and food sensitivities. Many people who are told they have IBS or sensitive digestion may actually have bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine that has never been properly tested.
SIBO occurs when excessive bacteria grow in the small intestine, where bacteria should normally be present in much lower amounts. This imbalance can interfere with digestion, nutrient absorption, and gut function, leading to chronic gastrointestinal symptoms that often persist despite diet changes or medications.
At Elysian Wellness, testing is performed under the supervision of a Registered Dietitian so results can be properly interpreted and followed with a personalized treatment plan tailored to your symptoms and health history.
