Uncover the root cause of IBS, IBD, acid reflux, abdominal pain, and other digestive conditions
with our comprehensive gut health testing.
GUT HEALTH
Our laboratory uses stool, breath, and urine specimens to uncover information about gut inflammation, immune function, digestion, absorption, the microbiome, infections, and gut mucosal integrity.
A comprehensive stool panel provides an ideal starting place for assessing gastrointestinal complaints. It offers the advantage of casting a wide net, evaluating multiple functions in one profile. A stool analysis assesses digestive function, intestinal inflammation, and the intestinal microbiome, which may contribute to symptoms.
In addition to common gastrointestinal complaints, clinicians often assess gut health for numerous other conditions including autoimmune diseases, mood disorders, skin and others. There is a tremendous amount of research linking GI function and the gut microbiome to overall health.
Indigestion, bloating, and upset stomach can be the result of many conditions including SIBO, pancreatic insufficiency, and others. Fortunately, these underlying causes can be treated.
Testing can give insight into causes of IBS, constipation, or diarrhea. Addressing the cause can normalize stool consistency and frequency.
Gut inflammation, SIBO, pancreatic insufficiency, and other conditions can result in maldigestion or malabsorption of nutrients. Additionally, a healthy microbiome produces several key vitamins for overall health.
Our rigorous testing analyzes biomarkers and combines results using an algorithm that highlights key focus areas for each patient.

The GI Effects Comprehensive Stool Profile is a group of advanced stool tests that provide actionable clinical information for the management of gastrointestinal health. This profile offers insight into digestive function, intestinal inflammation, and the intestinal microbiome.
The Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO) profiles are non-invasive breath tests which capture exhaled hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4) gases following patient ingestion of a lactulose solution to evaluate bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine.
