DELIVERY AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE - except Australia, Bermuda, Gibraltar, New Zealand & Singapore
Included in the cost of your test is advice, interpretation and support from our functional medicine team on your results. Choose package options below. Video calls are 30 minutes and you are sent a link to book your call once your results are ready.
The Comprehensive Stool Analysis with PCR evaluates the status of beneficial bacteria, imbalanced commensal bacteria, pathogenic bacteria and yeasts. If pathogenic cultures are identified, a sensitivity panel is provided to facilitate the selection of pharmaceutical or natural treatment agents. The efficiency of digestion and absorption is measured via faecal elastase, fat and carbohydrates, whilst the biomarkers of calprotectin, lysozyme, and lactoferrin can be used to assess inflammation. This can help to differentiate inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from that noted in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Humoral immune status of the gut is measured by secretory IgA (sIgA) while the assessment of short-chain fatty acids reflects overall gut health and microbiome balance. This profile is indicated for gastrointestinal symptoms, autoimmune disease, joint pain, IBD, IBS, inflammation, food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies and skin conditions.
You will be asked to fill out a patient form at checkout which will give us more information on your symptoms, current medications and supplement intake.
Lab test results & personalised written report = £465 (with H-Pylori & Zonulin £535)
Lab test results & 30 minute Zoom call = £485 (with H-Pylori & Zonulin £555)
Lab test results & 30 minute Zoom call & personalised written report = £505 (with H-Pylori & Zonulin £575)
You can also choose to add on zonulin and H pylori.
Elevated faecal zonulin family protein has been associated with increased intestinal permeability, metabolic syndrome and obesity.
Helicobacter Pylori is a microorganism which can be found on the stomach mucosa and may contribute to gastritis, gastric ulcers, GERD and other serious pathologies.
Methodology
The test is broken down into different sections:
GI Pathogens measured by multiplex PCR.
Culturing of commensal and pathogenic bacteria and yeast
Elastase and Calprotectin - Turbidimetric Immunoassay
Lactoferrin, Lysozyme, sIgA - Elisa
Carbohydrates – Colormetric
Fat Stain – Sudan IV
SCFA – Gas Chromatography
Beta Glucuronidase - Quantitative endpoint enzymatic (RUO)
Occult Blood – Guaiac
Stool pH - ISE
When should I use
This profile is indicated for gastrointestinal symptoms, autoimmune disease, joint pain, IBD, IBS, inflammation, food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies and skin conditions.
When testing budget is limited, and parasitic infection is not suspected, this provides a lower price point than our most comprehensive gut health test - the GI360.
Q. How do you support me with my results?
In ADDITION to your lab report we provide the following options which are INCLUDED in the package prices;
