- Abstract
This paper describes a new gas-analytical method used in a 55-year-old female patient with dyspepsia. Symptoms included epigastric fullness and inflation. Evaluation indicated an increased gas production in the proximal end of the small intestine that entered into the stomach via duodenogastric reflux. High CO2 content of eructed gas was confirmed in eructed gas samples using a tube in situ. Authors propose that this new analytical method of eructed gas may be applied in clinical practice in patients with dyspepsia.
