This stool test uses very advanced technology that can reveal the presence of previously unknown or unculturable microorganisms to uncover the full diversity of the microbiome, and can identify 28,000+ microbial species
The test also measures:
Beta glucuronidase - an enzyme linked to hormonal imbalances
Calprotectin - a biomarker of inflammation, often used to screen for inflammatory bowel diseases & other inflammatory gut conditions
Pancreatic elastase - a biomarker for digestive enzyme output
pH - indicates whether the gut environment is optimal for gut flora
SCFA (butyrate, acetate, propionate, valerate) - short chain fatty acids provide fuel to repair gut lining, regulate the immune system, and support good bacteria
Secretory IgA - crucial for gut immunity (controls overgrowths and fights infections)
Steatocrit - marker of fat digestion
Transglutaminase Immunoglobulin A (IgA) - marker of coeliac disease
Zonulin - marker of leaky gut
Microbiomix Metagenomics Mapping Test 2212
The Microbiomix Metagenomic Mapping test utilises metagenomic sequencing (shotgun), a powerful technique for analysing the genetic material of entire microbial communities present in a given stool sample.
The term “shotgun” refers to the random and unbiased sequencing of all the genetic material in the sample, including DNA from bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms. Covering 28,000+ microbial species, this comprehensive analysis provides a more detailed picture compared to targeted approaches that focus on specific genes or organisms.
This test should be considered for any of the following conditions:
- Gastrointestinal and Digestive Health
- Abdominal pain
- Bloating, gas and distention
- Constipation
- Other Health Conditions
- Food intolerances
- IBS/IBD
- Metabolic disorders
- Nutritional and Dietary Symptoms
- Malnutrition/ malabsorption/ maldigestion
- Gastrointestinal and Digestive Health
