The gut microbiome is a vast ecosystem of almost 100 trillion bacteria, many of which are vital, breaking down food and toxins , making vitamins and training our immune systems. The digestive tract itself weighs up to 2kg (heavier than the average brain), and it is increasingly treated by scientists as an organ in its own right.
With this test we offer a comprehensive study for the simultanous detection and identification of multiple gastrointestinal pathogens including bacteria, viruses and parasites.
Our included calprotectin study is able to identify and differentiaite clearly between inflammatory bowel diease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and other functional bowel diseases.
Research over the past two decades has revealed that gut health is critical to overall health, and an unhealthy gut can contribute to a wide range of diseases including diabetes, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune conditions, depression, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Symptoms of an unhealthy gut vary but they maye include any of the following:
abdominal (stomach) pain and cramping, which may be relieved by having a poo
a change in your bowel habits – such as diarrhoea, constipation, or sometimes both
bloating and swelling of your stomach
excessive wind (flatulence)
occasionally experiencing an urgent need to go to the toilet
a feeling that you have not fully emptied your bowels after going to the toilet
passing mucus from your bottom
Sugar Cravings
Bad Breath
Food Allergies or sensitivities
Moodiness
Anxiety
Eczema
Heartburn/acid reflux
Brain Fog
Rosacea
Psoriasis
