The Comprehensive Gut Profile is an advanced laboratory stool test designed to provide a detailed assessment of gut health. In a single test, it combines gut microbiome analysis, stool histamine measurement, and zonulin testing, a marker associated with intestinal permeability.
The gastrointestinal tract plays a much broader role than simply digesting food. It has a significant impact on the immune system, metabolism, nutrient absorption, and overall well-being. An imbalance of the gut microbiome, increased histamine production within the gut, or disruption of the intestinal barrier may be associated with a variety of symptoms, including bloating, excessive gas, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, food intolerances, chronic fatigue, and certain skin conditions.
What does the test include?
Gut Microbiome Analysis
This test evaluates the composition of the gut microbiota and helps identify potential dysbiosis, an imbalance in the gut microbial ecosystem. The results may provide valuable insights into digestive health and the overall condition of the intestinal environment.
Stool Histamine
Measurement of histamine in stool provides information about histamine levels directly within the gastrointestinal tract. Elevated levels may be associated with increased histamine production by gut bacteria, inflammatory processes, or altered histamine metabolism.
Stool Zonulin
Zonulin is a protein involved in regulating intestinal barrier function. Elevated levels may indicate increased intestinal permeability, commonly referred to as "leaky gut."
Who is this test suitable for?
The Comprehensive Gut Profile may be beneficial for individuals experiencing:
- Bloating and excessive gas
- Abdominal pain or discomfort
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Food intolerances
- Suspected histamine intolerance
- Long-term digestive complaints
- Chronic fatigue
- Recurrent gastrointestinal issues
- An interest in gaining a deeper understanding of their gut health
Clear Results with Personalized Interpretation
Your results will be delivered in the form of a detailed and easy-to-understand report. In addition to the laboratory findings, the report includes a professional interpretation of the results and practical recommendations.
This comprehensive report helps you better understand the condition of your gut microbiome, histamine levels, and intestinal barrier function, while providing actionable guidance that may support digestive health and overall well-being.
What are the benefits of this test?
Instead of ordering separate tests for the microbiome, histamine, or zonulin, the Comprehensive Gut Profile provides an integrated overview of several key aspects of gut health in a single assessment.
The results may help you better understand the relationship between the gut microbiome, histamine metabolism, and intestinal barrier function, offering a more complete picture of your digestive health.
The test is performed using a stool sample that can be conveniently collected at home and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
