The aim of this study was to estimate the diagnostic value of the Hydrogen Breath Test (HBT) in diagnosis of lactose intolerance (LI) and overgrows syndrome (OS) in infants with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGD). 102 infants from 1 to 6 months with FGD symptoms were investigated by HBT with lactose, fecal microbiota were examined by culture and real time PCR, fecal calprotectin was measured. LI was found in 37 % FGD infants, OS in 60 %. Calprotectin level was 445 ± 28 mg/g in OS and 195 ± 27 mg/g in infants without OS. Microbiota was altered in all FGD infants with increase of Cl. difficile, St. aureus. Infants with LI got Lactase Baby, infants with OS-L. reuteri in infant formula NAN Comfort or in drops Rela Life. Both were effective in elimination of FGD symptoms. Calprotectin level and microbiota disturbances were better after treatment.

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is associated with chronic gastrointestinal diseases and structural/functional abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract. SIBO’s association with clinical characteristics is unclear. This study investigates the association between clinical factors and SIBO according to lactulose hydrogen breath test (LHBT) result.Methods. A cross-sectional study in a university-based gastroenterology practice was performed. Data was abstracted from the medical records of subjects undergoing LHBT from 6/1/2009 to 6/1/2013. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association between predictor variables: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and positive LHBT, the outcome of interest.Results. LHBT was performed in 791 subjects. Fifty-four percent had a positive LHBT. There was no statistically significant difference between the LHBT results according to age or BMI. In females, the likelihood of a positive LHBT increased with age (OR 1.02; 95% CI: 1.01–1.03). In males, the likelihood of a positive LHBT result decreased with age (OR 0.98; 95% CI: 0.97–1.00).Conclusion. There was an association between age, with respect to sex, and a positive LHBT. With increased age in females, the odds of a positive LHBT increased, while, in men, the odds of a positive LHBT decreased with age.
