What is Functional GUT Testing?

You have tried a elimination diet, you have cut things out of your diet and you have done a cleanse, and you are still getting symptoms? These gut test might be for you. These tests look at the microbiome, parasites, protozoa, yeast, and viruses within your stool. They can also assess food sensitivities, key markers to assess gut permeability aka ‘leaky gut and hydrogen and methane gases. It takes the guess work out of elimination diets and gives us accurate data on what may be driving your gut symptoms. With this information I support you in a protocol to treat your gut symptoms so you can regain your digestive health.

 
 

GI 360

The GI360™ Profile is a comprehensive gut microbiota DNA analysis tool. This test identifies the abundance and diversity of more than 45 targeted microbiota that research has shown to contribute to dysbiosis and other chronic disease states. The GI360™ can identify the presence of pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and parasites using technology called multiplexed, real-time PCR. Identifying microbiome imbalances, viruses, parasites or pathogenic bacteria supports a targeted personalized treatment program. Sample report.

Food Sensitivities, bloating, gas, FIT

FIT Test

The FIT Test is the most sensitive food test available. It tests 176 different foods. The test measures both IgG and Immune Complexes, the most common food-related pathways in the body. The multiple pathway approach allows you to look at not only food sensitivities but also inflammation and gut permeability all from one test. It also provides tools including an app and a personalized meal plan. Learn more.

SIBO, Small intestine bacteria overgrowth
 

SIBO TEST

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth is a condition where bacterial overgrowth occurs in the absorptive area of the body the small intestine. It can cause bloating, gas, pain, and widespread food sensitivities.

The test is a simple breath test. When you take the small about of lactulose prior to the test we are able to measure the gases produced by the bacteria. This tells us whether you have hydrogen or methane dominant SIBO.

All tests use machines from QuinTron, the original manufacturer of BreathTracker, to measure both hydrogen and methane in a single sample of breath (alveolar air).

Extensive quality control, including carbon dioxide measurements to assure an acceptable alveolar air sample, comply with the highest standards of analytical excellence.
