In the last few decades, DNA analysis has transformed the field of microbiology and gut health testing. The Human Microbiome Project and research around the globe have characterized the GI microbiome. More than ever before, we are keenly aware of the health benefits and disease risks brought about by the microorganisms that inhabit the GI tract.

​

The Complete Microbiome Mapping Test was designed to assess a patient’s microbiome from a single stool sample, with particular attention to microbes that cause disease or that disrupt normal microbial balance and contribute to perturbations in the GI flora and contribute to illness.

​

The panel is a comprehensive collection of microbial targets as well as immune and digestive markers. It screens for pathogenic bacteria, commensal bacteria, opportunistic pathogens, fungi, viruses, and parasites.

​

Common Conditions associated with microbiome disruption:

• Parasites

• Dysbiosis

• Leaky gut

• Abdominal cramps or pain

• Bloating

• SIBO - small intestine bacterial overgrowth - fructose malabsorption

• Allergies, food sensitivities

• Weakness, fatigue

• Diarrhea

• Constipation

• Brain fog

• Hormone problems

• Thyroid disorders

• Colitis, IBS, inflammatory bowel diesase, diverticulitis

• Candida

• Helicobacter - GORD, stomach ulcers

• Systemic inflammatory conditions

• Auto-immunity

• Bowel cancer and other types of malignancies

• Gut permeability

• Liver disorders

• Anxiety, depression

Knowing what microbes are living in your gut helps direct treatment to be more efficient and targetted, It takes the guess work out making it a valuable investment in health and time.
