About Dr Janice Wong

Food intolerances are a common cause of gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea, bloating, wind and pain. When certain sugars (FODMAPS) are absorbed poorly in the small bowel, these sugars react with bacteria and produce a gas (either hydrogen or methane) which is then absorbed and breathed out from the lungs, which can be detected during breath testing. The low FODMAP diet has been scientifically and clinically shown to reduce functional abdominal symptoms in people with irritable bowel syndrome, coeliac disease (not responding to a gluten free diet) and inflammatory bowel disease with limited inflammation.

Breath hydrogen and methane tests are used to determine intolerances to both lactose (the sugar found in milk) and/or fructose (the sugar found in honey and many fruits). Three separate breath tests are required with the initial test being a control test using lactulose (a mild laxative). This will determine whether you are a hydrogen or methane producer to ensure the correct gas is measured on subsequent testing. 15% of patients do not produce hydrogen and methane needs to be measured instead.

The breathalyser used at the Cambridge Specialist Centre only detects hydrogen when it is breathed out from the lungs. If the initial lactulose test identifies that you do not produce hydrogen, then methane testing will be used and the sealed samples will be sent to Auckland for analysing.

Testing occurs over three separate days.

I was referred to Dr Janice Wong due to poorly control asthma. She conducted a very thorough examination in a professional and friendly manner. She then organised investigations and changes in treatment that have resulted in much better control of my asthma.
