hydrogen and Giardiasis

hydrogen has been researched along with Giardiasis in 4 studies

Hydrogen: The first chemical element in the periodic table with atomic symbol H, and atomic number 1. Protium (atomic weight 1) is by far the most common hydrogen isotope. Hydrogen also exists as the stable isotope DEUTERIUM (atomic weight 2) and the radioactive isotope TRITIUM (atomic weight 3). Hydrogen forms into a diatomic molecule at room temperature and appears as a highly flammable colorless and odorless gas.
dihydrogen : An elemental molecule consisting of two hydrogens joined by a single bond.

Giardiasis: An infection of the SMALL INTESTINE caused by the flagellated protozoan GIARDIA. It is spread via contaminated food and water and by direct person-to-person contact.

"Gastrointestinal complaints in patients with persistent or cleared giardiasis were unrelated to hydrogen breath excretion after lactulose challenge."3.74Lactulose breath test results in patients with persistent abdominal symptoms following Giardia lamblia infection. ( Berstad, A; Hausken, T; Morken, MH; Nysaeter, G; Strand, EA, 2008)
"Hydrogen breath tests were performed in Gabon (Central Africa) after a loading dose of lactose in 67 well-nourished African children (50 with intestinal parasites and 17 unparasitized) and in 18 unparasitized young adults."1.28Influence of intestinal parasitism on lactose absorption in well-nourished African children. ( Chaussain, M; Dupont, C; Gendrel, C; Gendrel, D; Kombila, M; Moreno, JL; Nardou, M; Richard-Lenoble, D, 1992)
"The hydrogen breath test has been introduced as a non-invasive and reproducible test for the detection of milk intolerance, bacterial overgrowth and intestinal motility disorders."1.27[Possibilities and limits of the H2 breath test]. ( Hay, U; Renner, F, 1987)
