The invention provides a compressed pharmaceutical composition comprising polyethylene glycol of molecular weight from 2000 to 4500, wherein the polyethylene glycol makes up from 80 to 99.5% by weight of the composition, one or more electrolytes for the treatment of constipation, faecal impaction, faecal retention, intestinal gas and cramping, or flatulence; or for orthostatic lavage, colon evacuation or colon cleansing. It has been found, surprisingly, that a compressed pharmaceutical composition comprising PEG for example a solid tablet, is significantly more palatable than previously proposed compositions and is effective when administered. The compressed pharmaceutical composition of the invention comprising polyethylene glycol has been found to have a more agreeable taste and a more agreeable mouthfeel than previously proposed liquid or dry powder or granular compositions.

Systems and methods have been developed for implementation of a portable SIBO testing system for convenient sampling of intestinal gases exhaled from a patient's breath. These devices may be in the form of a hand held meter that would integrate with a smartphone or other device with an application that can record data relating to food consumed by a user. Various technologies may be utilized to measure the levels of gases exhaled by a user, which may include (1) sorbent based technology and (2) membrane based technology. In some examples, the system will determine an indication of whether a patient has SIBO by adjusting a change in exhaled hydrogen concentration by a methane level exhaled by a patient.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising Bifidobacterium bacteria for use for reducing intestinal gas production in an individual.

A method of treatment for intestinal gas bloating, microscopic colitis, traveler's diarrhea and inflammatory bowel disease, said method comprising ingesting an effective quantity of a composition comprising colloidal bismuth subcitrate to eliminate gastrointestinal discomfort.

The invention discloses a method for preparing a cellulose gastrointestinal ultrasound angiography agent. Ethyl cellulose microspheres are firstly prepared; then a silicon oil defoamer is prepared; finally, the ethyl cellulose microspheres with a grain diameter of 20 microns and the silicon oil defoamer are mixed according to mass proportion of 1 to 100; thus the cellulose gastrointestinal ultrasound angiography agent is obtained. Due to the ability of eliminating gastrointestinal gases, the silicon oil defoamer can effectively eliminate artifacts caused by the interference of gases; evennessof a development image is determined by the grain diameter and the distribution of the ethyl cellulose microspheres; when the grain diameter is 20 microns and the distribution of the granularity is even, the ultrasound development effect is the best. The angiography agent of the invention not only ensures clear display of the structure of gastrointestinal wall, but helps to clearly distinguish surrounding organs and is expected to be used in clinical examination of gastrointestinal power.

Disclosed are the methods and compositions for the reduction of intestinal gas / flatulence. Specifically a method for reducing flatulence using a composition containing probiotic bacteria Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 is disclosed. More specifically, the invention discloses a method for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms that facilitate the production of intestinal gas, using a composition containing probiotic bacteria Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856.

A defecating apparatus for removing intestinal obstruction is characterized in that a disposable catheter, a negative-pressure aspiration drum and a disposable infusion set are connected by a three-way pipe. The defecating apparatus is favorable for exhausting intestinal gas excretion and defecating, is convenient in operation, low in price, light in traumatic effect and free of repeated operation and effectively treats intestinal obstruction caused by rectostenosis.

The utility model relates to rectally installed devices for intestinal gases drainage.User comfort is improved due to the fact that the device for silent removal and collection of intestinal gases is made in the form of a hollow oblong housing with two collar projections, proximal and distal, on the outer surface of the oblong housing, between which there is a window connected in the flowing medium with the outlet; there is a stop at the outlet.The window may consist of several inlets located circumferentially between the collar protrusions; there are drainage grooves on the outer side of the distal collar protrusion.

Systems and methods have been developed for implementation of a breath testing system for convenient sampling of intestinal gases exhaled from a patient's breath. This may include a system with a manifold that includes thermal regulation components, for instance thermistors and resistive heating elements, which maintain the temperature of the gases above the body temperature of the patient. In some examples, the system will determine an indication of whether a patient has SIBO by adjusting a change in exhaled hydrogen concentration by a methane level exhaled by a patient.

The invention relates to a device for discharging enteral gases or other malodorous gases in an odorless manner as much as possible as part of a system for discharging and / or collecting faeces or other excreta or secretions that produce a strong odor from a human or animal body in a closed, preferably continuous manner, wherein feces or excreted excreta or secretions are conducted outside the body by means of a tubular or tubular structure, in addition to the introduction and discharge connection and a channel region connecting the introduction and discharge connection together for the passage of feces or other excreta or secretions, the structure has a branch in which the tube-shaped or tubular structure is connected to the tube-shaped or tubular structure and the tube-shaped or tubular structure is connected to the tube-shaped or tubular structure and the tube-shaped or tubular structure is connected to the tube-shaped or tubular structure. According to the invention, intestinal gases or other malodorous gases are separated from faeces or other excreta or secretions and are guided to an outlet through an adsorption and / or filtration device, at least part of which is at a distance from the channel region. Therefore, strong contact with excrement or other excrement or secretions flowing through the channel area is avoided as far as possible.
