Gut Microbiome Lab Test Large (27 items)

The Gut Microbiome Test Large provides an in-depth analysis of your gut health, ideal for those experiencing digestive issues or wanting a comprehensive overview of their gut flora. Many health problems, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), candida overgrowth, or poor digestion, can arise from imbalances in the gut microbiome. This test assesses the presence of key bacteria, yeast, pH levels, and digestive functions, offering you a detailed insight into your digestive health and any potential imbalances.

What Does the Gut Microbiome Test Large Measure?

This test covers a wide range of indicators to give a complete picture of your gut health:

• Bacteria: It measures 13 types of bacteria, including:

  • Escherichia coli
  • Bifidobacterium
  • Lactobacillus
  • Clostridium
  • Klebsiella
  • Proteus
  • Enterobacter
  • Serratia
  • Pseudomonas
  • Enterococcus
  • Hafnia
  • Bacteroides
  • Escherichia coli Bioware

• Yeast: The test examines four types of yeast:

  • Candida albicans: A common yeast that can cause health issues if overgrown.
  • Candida spp: Additional Candida species.
  • Geotrichum candidum
  • General yeast/fungus levels.

• Digestive Function Markers:

  • Pancreatic elastase: Indicates pancreatic function.
  • Bile acids: Helps assess fat digestion.
  • Digestive residues: Measures fat, nitrogen, sugar, and water content in your stool to evaluate how well your body is digesting food.

• Inflammation Markers:

  • Alpha-1 antitrypsin: An indicator of inflammation in the intestines.
  • Calprotectin: Signals inflammation often associated with conditions like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.
  • Secretory IgA: A marker for immune function in the gut, often related to leaky gut or food sensitivities.

• pH Value: Assesses the overall acidity or alkalinity of your stool, which can indicate gut health balance.

Who Would Benefit from the Gut Microbiome Test Large?

This test is particularly suited for individuals dealing with:

• IBS and other digestive disorders: By measuring both the bacterial composition and inflammatory markers, it helps uncover underlying causes.
• Candida overgrowth: The test identifies excessive levels of yeast, especially Candida albicans, which can cause fatigue, digestive issues, and immune problems.
• Food digestion difficulties: By evaluating digestive residues and markers like pancreatic elastase, this test helps identify how efficiently your body is digesting fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.

For those experiencing gut-related health issues, the test offers a comprehensive overview that helps pinpoint imbalances and suggests areas for improvement. Additionally, it serves as a preventive measure by identifying potential problems early.

Understanding Yeast Overgrowth

Candida albicans and other yeast species are naturally present in the gut in small amounts. However, various factors such as antibiotic use, poor diet, heavy metal toxicity, and medications can lead to an overgrowth. When overgrown, Candida can cause issues such as digestive discomfort, skin problems, fatigue, and recurrent infections. This test assesses the presence of Candida and other yeasts, offering valuable insights into whether yeast overgrowth may be contributing to your health concerns.

How to Perform the Gut Microbiome Test Large

This test is easy to perform at home. You'll receive a testing kit with all the necessary materials for sample collection. Once the sample is ready, you simply send it to an ISO-certified laboratory for analysis. After processing, you’ll receive a detailed digital report outlining your results, along with explanations of what they mean for your gut health.

For an Advanced Gut Health Assessment

For those interested in a more extensive evaluation, particularly for conditions like leaky gut, consider upgrading to the Gut Microbiome Test XL. This extended version includes all the markers from the Large test, along with additional biomarkers like zonulin and histamine, which are critical for assessing gut permeability and immune response.
