Digestive Health

The GI-Microbial Assay Plus quantitatively assesses a patient’s microbiome with attention to bacterial, parasitic, and viral pathogens that can cause disease, disrupt the normal microbial balance, and contribute to chronic GI illness. This panel includes a test for zonulin, which can be used as an added measure of intestinal permeability.

• Purpose: Assess patient gut health by identifying microbes that can cause disease or imbalance
• Benefits: This test comprehensively and accurately identifies bacterial, viral and parasitic causes of gastrointestinal illness
• Technology: qPCR amplification of target genetic sequences from stool samples resulting in a PDF report of each result (7-10 day turnaround time)
