What is Gut Microbiome Test?
Discover the complex ecosystem within your digestive system and how it affects your health
Comprehensive Microbiome Analysis
A Gut Microbiome test examines the tiny organisms living in the digestive system by studying their DNA from a stool sample. It checks for different types of bacteria, their variety and if they are balanced.
The test works by reading specific parts of microbial DNA to identify bacteria and other microbes like yeast or by analysing all genetic material in the sample to detect a wider range of microbes, including viruses and fungi.
An imbalance in gut bacteria, called dysbiosis, happens when there are too few good bacteria, too many harmful ones, or not enough variety. This can weaken digestion and immune defences, making the body more vulnerable to infections and diseases. Dysbiosis is linked to conditions like diarrhoea, colitis, and inflammatory bowel disease. It may also be connected to irritable bowel syndrome, obesity, diabetes, liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and even mental health problems like anxiety and depression.
By studying gut microbes, Gut Microbiota testing helps find imbalances and understand health risks. Knowing what bacteria are present can help to decide on treatment plans, improve digestion, and support overall well-being. A healthy gut microbiome plays an important role in breaking down food, producing vitamins, and keeping harmful bacteria under control. A balanced microbiome is essential for good health, and a Gut Health test at home can help check if it is working properly.
List of Parameters
Our test examines a comprehensive range of microbial markers
What We Measure
- Bacterial diversity and richness
- Beneficial bacteria levels (e.g., Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus)
- Potentially harmful bacteria presence
- Fungal and yeast populations
- Viral components of the microbiome
- Markers of inflammation
- Short-chain fatty acid producers
- Microbial genes related to vitamin production
Test Preparation
How to prepare for your gut microbiome test
Getting Accurate Results
To ensure the most accurate results from your gut microbiome test, please follow these preparation guidelines:
- Avoid antibiotics for at least 4 weeks prior to testing
- Maintain your normal diet for 3 days before collection
- Collect the sample first thing in the morning
- Follow the detailed collection instructions provided in your kit
- Return the sample to our lab within 24 hours of collection
Why This Test
Understanding the importance of gut microbiome analysis
The Power of Gut Health
Your gut microbiome influences many aspects of your health beyond just digestion. Emerging research shows connections between gut health and:
- Immune system function (70% of your immune system is in your gut)
- Mental health and neurological conditions
- Metabolic health and weight management
- Inflammatory conditions throughout the body
- Nutrient absorption and vitamin production
By understanding your unique microbiome composition, you can take targeted steps to optimize your gut health and overall wellbeing.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions about gut microbiome testing
Common Questions
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 2-3 weeks after we receive your sample at our lab.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by provider. We can provide documentation for you to submit to your insurance company.
How often should I test my microbiome?
We recommend testing every 3-6 months if you're making dietary or lifestyle changes to monitor progress.
What's the difference between this and other gut tests?
Our test uses advanced DNA sequencing to identify more microbial species with greater accuracy than traditional culture methods.
