With a functional stool test we get a glimpse “under the hood”, mainly of the large intestine but with clues as to what might be happening further up the GI tract in the small intestine. This test can help uncover gut bacterial imbalances, presences of pathogens, viruses parasites, colonized H.Pylori, fungi/yeast, and markers of digestive health such as digestive and immune function to give us a better roadmap for your healing journey.

Testing may include one of the following:

Gut Zoomer from Vibrant Labs

Tiny Health

BiomeFx from Microbiome Labs

GI Effects from Genova Diagnostics

GI Map from Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory

Prices vary by lab

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is strongly associated with IBS and GI symptoms. This non-invasive 3-hour lactulose breath test can be done at home.

~$100 for H.Pylori only stool testing. This can also be be included as part of a comprehensive stool profile.

Organic Acid Testing (OAT) is a metabolite urine test to assess many of the metabolic pathways - checking the status of nutrients, mitochondria, detoxification, neurotransmitters, and dysbiosis markers. Vitamins and minerals are essential for the enzymes responsible for the metabolic pathways in the body. The testing will uncover which metabolic pathways are being impacted and which vitamins and minerals may be in need. Optional add-on testing can also include both a urine test, blood test, and saliva test to include markers for certain genetic SNPs, fatty acids, and amino acids.

Test uses urine, blood, and saliva. Lab fees are additional for blood draw.

The Micronutrients Panel measures various vitamins and minerals to evaluate nutritional deficiencies and abnormalities (blood draw required). Depending on the vitamin/mineral will determine if it will be measured intracellular (within the cell) or extracellular (within the blood and existing outside of the cells).

Testing will be used to determine a custom supplement plan and/or help determine if an underlying condition is contributing to nutrient status.

Urine mycotoxin testing can offer an assessment of mold exposure. Mold exposure for some can result in a range of systemic symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, to neurologic. Just because you have left an exposure to mold does not mean the mold has left you. Testing offered may uncover this but please note that if your testing comes back positive you may be referred to a practitioner that specialized in mold related illness, CRIS, PANS/PANDAS, and/or MCAS.
