Background/Aims:

The role of the gastric fermentation in

functional dyspepsia has been investigated.

Methods:

Lactulose Hydrogen Breath test,

H. pylori

13C Urea

Breath Test. 47 patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) has

been investigated.

Results:

Positives for lactulose hydrogen breath test (SIBO)

23, negatives (SIBO) 24.

H. pylori

and hydrogen breath test (SIBO) positives 12.

Introduction:

At least 20% of the population has

chronic symptoms that can be attributed to disorders of

gastroduodenal function, and the majority of these people

have no evidence of organic causes. Diagnostic criteria:

One or more of the following bothersome: postprandial

fullness, early satiation, epigastric pain, epigastric burning

and no evidence of structural disease, (including a upper

endoscopy) that is likely to explain the symptom onset at

least 3 months with symptom onset at least 6 months

before diagnosis. (1) The bacterium

Helicobacter pylori

is

found in 40% of the population and is responsible for the

development of the duodenal ulcer disease. The infection

also is a cause of gastric ulcer diseases, and of some cases

of non-ulcer dyspepsia and gastric adenocarcinoma (2). In

an analogous way, the post-infectious in the IBS (Irritable

Bowel Syndrome), several studies have identified the

novo

development of FD following an enteric infection.

Giardia

lamblia

infection has been shown to provoke visceral

hypersensitivity and delay gastric emptying. Besides the

bacteria

E.coli

in gastric infection can produce dismotility

(3).The latest iteration of the Rome IV, published in 2016,

represents a significant departure from prior version with

a much broader approach to the definition and potential

pathophysiology of functional gastrointestinal disorders

and now recognizes the possible contribution of such

phenomena as low-grade inflammation, changes in the gut

microbiota, and altered brain processing to the pathogenesis

of the symptoms (3). Finally, the growth of bacteria was

demonstrated with culture of gastric biopsy (4).

Hydrogen breath test using various substrates like glucose,

lactulose, lactose and fructose are being used more and

more to diagnose small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)

and lactose or fructose malabsorption. Though quantitative

culture of jejunal aspirate is considered as gold standard for

the diagnosis of SIBO, hydrogen breath test, in spite of their

low sensitivity, are popular for their non-invasiveness. (5).
