Description
Runjie Wang and co-authors examine methane making microbes overgrowing children's guts. A breath test flagged the overgrowth in nearly two thirds of a hundred twenty four children with gut complaints at a Shanghai hospital. The positive group reported less diarrhea than the negative group. Scope exams found more blunting of the small gut's finger like lining in positive children.
Among children whose troubles were classed as functional, over two thirds tested positive, mostly at school age. Nutrition looked the same across groups. The authors link the overgrowth to altered gut lining and symptom patterns. They urge clinicians to weigh the breath test in puzzling pediatric cases.
