Advanced GI Testing

Naturopathic Doctors Utilize Comprehensive Gut Testing to Identify the Root Causes of Your Digestive Symptoms

Comprehensive Gut Microbiome Analysis

Personalized Gut Diagnostics to Map Out YOUR GI Health

No two digestive systems are identical. After your initial consultation, we will guide you toward the gut health testing panels that offer the highest clarity for your health goals and budget.

By analyzing an Advanced GI Microbiome Profile, we pinpoint the exact drivers behind chronic gas, bloating, and abdominal discomfort. With this information we can determine the exact natural therapies your gut will respond to best.

The Advanced GI Profile measures:

1/ Microbial Ecology: 30+ commensal and opportunistic bacterial species, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) to measure beneficial gut flora activity and metabolic health.

2/ Infections & Pathogens: 50+ targeted screens for parasites, worms, fungi/yeasts, viral, and bacterial pathogens.

3/ Gut Barrier & Function: To evaluate how well you digest your food, inflammation, and intestinal wall integrity (also known as ‘leaky gut’)

4/ Targeted Solutions: Antimicrobial Sensitivities profiling ensuring the most effective antimicrobial therapies are chosen for you.

Special Breath Tests

The following tests detect gases produced by specific gut bacteria after digesting a liquid solution. Breath tests provide a non-invasive and reliable solution to diagnosing gastrointestinal issues, and can be done from your own home with a specialized pre-packaged test kit.

  • Hydrogen breath test. 

  • Intestinal permeability test. 

  • Urea breath test for H. pylori. 

  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Testing (SIBO)
