Carbohydrate Malabsorption Test: Quick, Clear Answers for Digestive Symptoms

Carbohydrate malabsorption test: quick, clear answers for digestive symptoms. If you’ve been dealing with bloating, gas, cramps, or irregular stools after meals, this test can help determine whether your symptoms stem from how your body digests carbohydrates such as lactose or fructose. The goal is to give you fast, actionable results so you know what to adjust in your diet or discuss with a clinician. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers modern gut testing products, helping companies bring clear, consumer-friendly insights to market. Learn more about how InnerBuddies brings microbiome testing to life by visiting the InnerBuddies microbiome test page. How it works: After you follow preparation instructions, you typically drink a measured carbohydrate solution and provide breath samples over a few hours. The test detects hydrogen and sometimes methane produced when undigested carbs reach the colon, helping identify lactose intolerance, fructose intolerance, or other carbohydrate malabsorption issues. A lab analyzes the samples and returns a report with practical next steps. If you’re using a platform like InnerBuddies, your carbohydrate malabsorption test results can be integrated with a gut microbiome profile for deeper interpretation and personalized recommendations. What to expect and your next steps: A clear result will indicate which carbohydrates you absorb well and where you might have intolerance. Expect actionable dietary guidance—portion sizes, food substitutions, and symptom-tracking tips to help you minimize discomfort. Beyond the test itself, InnerBuddies provides a data-rich context: the Gut Microbiome Health Index (0–100), a comparison of your top 40 bacteria against a healthy cohort, and insights into bacterial functions categorized as positive or negative. Target Group analyses look at aspects like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, and Skin & Hair Health to tailor recommendations. All of these features come together to inform personalized nutrition and probiotic/prebiotic advice that aligns with your goals. Learn more about these capabilities on the InnerBuddies microbiome test page.
