# Your small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) test prep diet is different to Biovis', whose should I follow?

## You should follow our instructions for your SIBO test preparation diet.

Our SIBO breath test instructions are slightly different to Biovis' instructions. Our practitioners have recently reviewed our instructions, which were originally aligned with Biolab's.

We've taken out a number of foods because they have the potential to affect testing.

We recommend that you avoid all foods not on Healthpath's test preparatory diet, on the day before the test.
