The integrity of the gut and digestive tract is often the first place to start in a functional medicine approach to healing the body. GI imbalance can lead to Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, IBS, and a range of diseases beyond the digestive tract including diabetes, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, hormonal imbalance, depression and chronic fatigue syndrome and more. It is important to identify the root cause of any intestinal stress in order to apply the appropriate intervention.
The GI Map Stool Test can identify if you have an imbalance of bacterial flora in the large intestine, assess for other pathogens, parasites, Candida overgrowth, or issues with digestion and malabsorption. Beyond defining what is living in the bowel or GI tract, this panel digs into the elements of optimal digestion assessing enzymes, bile, pH, undigested fat, fiber, and protein. This allows a specific treatment plan knowing the optimal approach based on the particular digestive imbalance driving your digestive disturbance and extending into valued information for autoimmune disease, depression, anxiety, obesity, and more.
This is suitable for clients with bloating, distention, belching, gas, indigestion, GERD, IBS, IBD, diarrhea, constipation, and autoimmune disease.
