A drink adapted to be consumed by a patient to enable measurement of gastric emptying of the liquid phase, is a fruit juice having mixed and suspended therein a quantity of Spirulina platensis alga grown in a 13CO2 atmosphere. These single cell organisms pass from the stomach into the small intestine where they are digested, absorbed and oxidized to produce a detectible rise in the level of 13CO2 in the patient's breath which is sampled and the measured valves plotted to enable determination of gastric emptying rate abnormalities.

Cette invention concerne une boisson destinée à être consommée par un patient pour permettre de mesurer une vidange gastrique de la phase liquide. Ladite boisson est un jus de fruit dans lequel est mélangée et suspendue une quantité de l'algue spirulina platensis cultivée dans une atmosphère de ?13¿CO¿2?. Ces organismes unicellulaires passent de l'estomac à l'intérieur de l'intestin grêle où ils sont digérés, absorbés et oxydés pour produire une augmentation notable du niveau de ?13¿CO¿2? dans l'haleine du patient, laquelle est échantillonnée et les valeurs mesurées représentées graphiquement pour permettre de déterminer des anomalies du taux de vidange gastrique.
