Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine focused on the digestive system and its disorders. The digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract, sometimes referred to as the GI tract, which includes the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine as well as the accessory organs of digestion which includes the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver. The digestive system functions to move material through the GI tract via peristalsis, break down that material via digestion, absorb nutrients for use throughout the body, and remove waste from the body via defecation.
Physicians who specialize in the medical specialty of gastroenterology are called gastroenterologists or sometimes GI doctors.

Hydrogen Breath Test – Accurate Diagnosis for Digestive Disorders
The Hydrogen Breath Test (HBT) is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic tool used to detect conditions like lactose intolerance, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and fructose malabsorption. At Hande Hospital, we offer advanced hydrogen breath testing to help diagnose and manage digestive disorders effectively.
What is a Hydrogen Breath Test?
This test measures the amount of hydrogen and methane gases in your breath after consuming a specific sugar solution. If your body has difficulty digesting certain carbohydrates, bacteria in the gut ferment them, producing hydrogen and methane, which are exhaled and measured during the test.
