In the [(13)C]-octanoic acid breath test, the time versus pulmonary [(13)CO(2)] excretion rate curve is analysed using mathematical curve-fitting techniques to calculate gastric emptying parameters. Thus, the goodness-of-fit highly influences the accuracy of the breath test. However, a double-peaked [(13)CO(2)] exc...
