Dr. Frank
As a patient, homerun
“As a patient, I was worried this would be complicated, and nervous I wouldn’t be able to do this on my own at home. Everything was explained very clearly when I received the test kit and after sending my test back, I had my results in under 24 hours. My treatment is now tailored to my SIBO diagnosis.”

Dr. Shane
Simple, safe alternative.
“The most direct – yet invasive, surgical, and expensive method of evaluating for SIBO is an upper endoscopy with small intestinal fluid aspiration. However, breath testing is overall the preferred diagnostic method for SIBO. Breath testing is safe, simple, and noninvasive. AllClear Healthcare provides affordable, easy to use, and accurate results fast. Their tagline explains it clearly… modern practitioner diagnostics, better patient health.”

As smooth as could be
“Honestly the experience went as smooth as could be. We had a little panic at 7:30am, booked an appointment for 9, and got results by 9:15 and I was off to work. The form on the app took minutes to fill out and there were no problems at all. The employee that helped us out yesterday, Thomas, was great as well. He even called me with the results.”
Dante
I’m sold.
“I was unsure about how easy this test would be for me to explain to patients, my days are packed tight, and I didn’t want to add burden onto staff, but the directions are incredibly simple, and I have yet to have a patient who has had an issue with this test.”
Dr. Ivette

Comprehensive Gastrointestinal Health
Many people suffer from digestive problems that can significantly affect their daily lives. Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and various food intolerances can cause discomfort and disrupt routines. Identifying the root cause of these symptoms is crucial for effective treatment. Lactose Intolerance, in particular, can be mistaken for other digestive disorders. Our comprehensive gastrointestinal health testing includes specialized tests to diagnose Lactose Intolerance accurately.
Understanding Lactose Intolerance
LACTOSE INTOLERANCE is a very common condition, (especially in people with Asian, West African, Arab, Jewish, Greek and Italian descent). It is not to be confused with a dairy allergy (which is an allergic reaction to milk protein). Lactose Intolerance describes the partial or complete inability to metabolize milk sugar (lactose) which is present in all mammalian milk types (cow, sheep, goat etc). It is reflective of a partial or complete lack of the enzyme needed to split this sugar (Lactase). As a result of not being able to break this sugar down and absorb it, the sugar molecules reach the lower small intestine and cause symptoms like bloating, gas, cramping, nausea and loose stools, among others. This condition can be responsible for irritable bowel –type symptoms, it very often is part of the symptoms of celiac disease (not the cause of celiac disease, however!), and can be also a (transient or persistent) symptom after bowel infections/diarrheal illnesses or antibiotic therapy. Lactose Breath Testing can diagnose this condition quite accurately.
Lactose Intolerance Symptoms and Diagnosis
Lactose Intolerance symptoms typically appear 30 minutes to 2 hours after consuming lactose-containing foods or drinks. Common symptoms include:
• Bloating and gas: These are among the most common and uncomfortable symptoms of lactose intolerance.
• Abdominal discomfort or cramps: Often mistaken for IBS, this discomfort can be persistent.
• Diarrhea: Lactose intolerance can cause diarrhea similar to IBS.
• Fatigue and brain fog: These are less common but can occur, especially in severe cases.
Given the broad range of symptoms, Lactose Intolerance is often misdiagnosed as IBS, with some studies suggesting that like SIBO, Lactose Intolerance could be implicated in over 50% of IBS cases.
Treatment and Management
Treatment primarily consists of avoiding lactose-containing foods and/or supplementation of the Lactase enzyme with meals.
