Our latest MAST paper has officially been published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology (@JCGjournal)! 🎉 In this nationwide study, we examined the clinical utility of a three-gas breath test and how different gases relate to gastrointestinal symptoms. Traditionally, breath testing has focused on hydrogen and methane—but our findings highlight the importance of a third gas, hydrogen sulfide, and its meaningful associations with symptom severity. This work adds an important layer to how we understand breath testing and GI symptom patterns, with potential implications for diagnosis and patient care.
