Questions? We’ve got answers.
What makes this different from a basic stool test?
This test uses advanced DNA technology to assess not just pathogens, but also microbiome diversity, inflammation, and digestive function — giving a full picture of gut health.
Can it detect leaky gut or inflammation?
Yes. It includes markers like zonulin and calprotectin, which reflect intestinal permeability and gut inflammation.
Can I do it while on antibiotics or probiotics?
Ideally no. We recommend pausing probiotics for 2–3 days and avoiding antibiotics for at least 2 weeks before.
What symptoms does this test help with?
Bloating, constipation, IBS, food intolerances, skin issues, fatigue, and brain fog.
