FDA: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved the Gastric
Emptying Breath Test (GEBT), a new non-invasive test to aid in the
diagnosis of delayed gastric emptying, known as gastroparesis.
Current tests used to diagnose gastroparesis typically involve the
use of a small amount of radioactive material or imaging equipment, so
testing must be conducted in specialized outpatient centers. The GEBT
can be used in broader settings.
