GI Stool Tests

Assessing your gut health is crucial for optimal health. Below are couple of the best tests available that I prefer to use. I will recommend the most appropriate for you.

GI Effects®

GI Effects® is a comprehensive assessment of complete gut health, assessing the root cause of most GI complaints and not only.

Gut health is crucial for just about every aspect of human health.

Systemic diseases can be linked to the GI tract and improving the health of your gut may improve your overall health. Gut microbes are codependent with one another and with their human host, and the health of one affects the other. This is why is so important to have an optimal digestion and microbial balance.

GI Effects evaluates the following areas:

  • Digestion/Absorption

  • Inflammation/Immunology

  • Gut Microbiome Balance

  • Pathogenic Parasites and Bacteria

  • Intestinal Permeability (Leaky Gut)

GI Effects stool testing might be right for you if you struggle with:

  • Gas

  • Bloating

  • Abdominal pain/cramps

  • Indigestion/reflux
