30 years of Gastrolyzer: Aiding digestive diagnosis through HBMT

Bedfont is holding a competition at UEG 2019 to celebrate the Gastrolyzer monitors helping to detect gastrointestinal disorders for over 30 years

Bedfont developed the Gastrolyzer breath and hydrogen methane monitors when their current breath analysis monitor showed Hydrogen could also be measured on exhaled breath, and that high levels of exhaled hydrogen suggested gastrointestinal problems. To celebrate the Gastrolyzer range’s 30th birthday, Bedfont are hosting a competition at the United European Gastroenterology Week (UEGW), Barcelona.

Taking place between 19th-23rd October, UEGW is the largest GI meeting in Europe, which attracts over 14,000 participants from around the world each year, making it the perfect location to celebrate 30 years of Gastrolyzer.

When food is broken down in the gut, the process results in the release of hydrogen and methane, which can then be measured on exhaled breath. Quick and easy to perform, a breath test requires no needles or blood tests and can be used to aid in the diagnosis of several gastrointestinal disorders, including sugar intolerances such as IBS, lactose intolerance, fructose intolerance, and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).

Bedfont is giving attendees the chance to win a brand new Gastro+™ Gastrolyzer at UEGW 2019, in honour of the Gastrolyzer turning 30. To enter the competition, simply visit Bedfont at Stand 82 during UEG and take a hydrogen breath test, then have your picture taken with your results for social media to be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win a brand new Gastro+™.
