If you suffer from symptoms like bloating, constipation, and a distended abdomen, you may have Intestinal Methane Overgrowth (IMO).
In this case, the VOC-IMO test supports you in the diagnostic clarification of your symptoms from age 16 and serves as a basis for your doctor or therapist to determine any necessary treatment.
Your report includes the measurements for methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), plus an easy-to-understand interpretation and recommendations for further diagnostics.

With chronic bloating, fullness, constipation or irritable bowel symptoms, once other causes have been medically excluded.
Distended abdomen, cramps, sluggish digestion, constipation, changing bowel habits.

Ging schnell und unkompliziert. Über 10 Jahre haben verschiedene Gastroentereologen es nicht geschafft eine Diagnose zu stellen. Mit diesem einfachen Test wurde IMO bestätigt und die Odyssee hat ein Ende.
