Nutrition, 1998
There is a need for non-invasive tests of gastrointestinal and nutritional function. Clinical problems peculiar to infancy and childhood require prompt diagnosis, and methods that are invasive or involve the use of radioisotopes are often impractical or ethically unacceptable. What the pediatrician and clinical scientist seek are tests that are simple,

Methods and functions: Breath tests
Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2009Breath tests provide a valuable non-invasive diagnostic strategy to in vivo assess a variety of enzyme activities, organ functions or transport processes. Both the hydrogen breath tests and the (13)C-breath tests using the stable isotope (13)C as tracer are non-radioactive and safe, also in children and pregnancy.

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1998Hlastala, Michael P. The alcohol breath test—a review. J. Appl. Physiol.84(2): 401–408, 1998.—The alcohol breath test (ABT) is evaluated for variability in response to changes in physiological parameters. The ABT was originally developed in the 1950s, at a time when understanding of pulmonary physiology was quite limited.
