| 1. We suggest that a rise of ≥20 p.p.m. from baseline in hydrogen during the test should be considered positive for fructose and lactose breath testing. |

| 2. We suggest that until better data are available, for clinical and research purposes, a rise of ≥20 p.p.m. from baseline in hydrogen by 90 min should be considered a positive test to suggest the presence of SIBO. |

| 3. We suggest that two peaks on breath test are not required for the diagnosis of SIBO. |

| 4. Until further data is available, we suggest that a level of ≥10 p.p.m. be considered positive for methane on a breath test. |
Agree (88.9% agree, 0% uncertain, 11.1% disagree) |

| 5. A firm position statement cannot be reached due to lack of conclusive data on the definition of abnormal methane on to be ≥3 p.p.m. |
