GI Microbiome Profile- Basic

Millions of people in the United States are affected by gastrointestinal (GI) disorders.  Some are caused by pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites.  Others may be related to imbalances in the normal bacteria present in the GI tract.  Symptoms of a GI infection or other problem include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, fever, abdominal pain, appetite changes, and more.        

If you are concerned about a GI infection or potential gut health or microbiome imbalances, stool testing can help.  Stool testing can detect pathogens in your digestive tract that could be making you sick.  It can also provide you with information about the health of your natural GI microbiome.

The GI Microbiome Profile – Basic examines 104 markers of GI health in 8 different GI categories.  This report will provide personalized information about:

  • Disease-causing organisms
  • Gut microbiome diversity
  • Functional gut health

Please note that for this test, you will be asked to collect your stool sample at home and bring it back to your Any Lab Test Now store on that same day for processing.  Please contact your local Any Lab Test Now for additional specimen collection information.
