Pattern of methane levels with lactulose breath testing; can we shorten the test duration?

Abstract Background and Aim Methane levels in methane‐positive lactulose breath tests are frequently elevated at time zero. We hypothesized that baseline methane level is sufficient to detect excessive methane production and thereby avoid extended testing. Our aim was to determine if baseline methan...
