5 Warning Signs You Have Poor Gut Health

7/25/2021

0 Comments

 
Your gut has an incredible amount of control over your overall health but it can be kind of confusing to understand why or how to identify what symptoms are cause for concern. 
The gut microbiome contains a mix of good and bad bacteria that plays many important roles in our body: protecting against dangerous bacteria, regulating metabolism, aiding in digestion, creating vitamins, managing hormone levels, and disposing of toxins.  It makes sense when there's a deficiency in the system

5 signs 
that you may need stool analysis.

Why Test?

There are a whole range of markers on a stool test that help us get a really clear idea about what is going on inside your large intestine that may be contributing to your symptoms. But a stool test also gives us clues about other parts of the digestive system, like the stomach, small intestine, liver, gall-bladder and pancreas. This is why I like my clients to start with a simple one-day sample stool test, that they can do at home. But most importantly, a stool test gives us information about whether you have a dysbiosis - imbalance of good, bad and commensal bacteria in the large intestine, and/or a gut infection such as those caused by parasites, bacteria, viruses, worms and yeast/fungus.

The GI Map by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory is the latest evolution of comprehensive DNA stool testing, using PCR technology.


The GI MAP stool test is a powerful tool we use to analyze your microbiome, digestive function and inflammation in the gut.  With this incredible stool analysis, we can gain a clear picture of what's going on in your gut and how to balance it.
