ABSTRACT:
A biscuit adapted to be ingested by a patient to enable measurement of gastric emptying has added prior to baking Spirulina Platensis alga grown in a .sup.13 CO.sub.2 atmosphere. These single cell organisms are oxidized after digestion in the small intestine to produce a detectible rise in level of .sup.13 CO.sub.2 in the patient's breath which is sampled and plotted to enable diagnosis of abnormal gastric emptying rates.
