CA 2239018

A biscuit adapted to be ingested by a patient to enable measurement of gastric emptying was added prior to baking Spirulina Platensis alga grown in a 13CO2 atmosphere. These single cell organisms are oxidized after digestion in the small intestine to produce a detectable rise in level of 13CO2 in the patient's breath which is sampled and plotted to enable diagnosis of abnormal gastric emptying rates.

La présente invention concerne un biscuit à faire ingérer à un patient et spécialement conçu pour mesurer l'évacuation gastrique. Le procédé consiste à ajouter audit biscuit avant sa cuisson une certaine quantité d'algues de l'espèce Spirulina Platensis élevées dans une atmosphère de ?13¿CO¿2?. Ces organismes monocellulaires ont la faculté de s'oxyder après la digestion dans l'intestin grêle en produisant une élévation sensible du taux de ?13¿CO¿2? dans l'haleine du patient que l'on peut alors prélever et enregistrer pour diagnostiquer toute anomalie du taux d'évacuation gastrique.
