SIBO Test Instructions
SIBO, or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, is defined as the presence of excessive numbers of bacteria in the small bowel, causing gastrointestinal symptoms. The normal small bowel has lower levels of microbial colonization than does the colon. This normal balance is significantly disrupted with SIBO. SIBO can be a complex result of various medications and conditions, such as IBS, Celiac, Crohn’s disease, bowel surgeries, and several other gastrointestinal complications. The symptoms of SIBO can arise from the malabsorption of nutrients, alteration in intestinal permeability, inflammation, and/or immune activation that arises from the abnormal bacterial fermentation within the small bowel.
Trio-Smart is the only breath test available that can measure all three of the primary fermented gases in your microbiome: hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide.
Measuring the three primary fermented gases can offer you and your doctor valuable and more complete insight into your GI symptoms, leading to a personalized treatment plan more quickly.
GI-MAP Instructions
A GI-MAP stool test is a comprehensive diagnostic tool that analyzes the DNA in a stool sample to evaluate the health of the gastrointestinal tract. It uses quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to identify and quantify bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses, and also assesses markers of intestinal health, digestion, and immune function. The results can help identify imbalances in the gut microbiome and inform personalized treatment plans for various digestive and other health issues.
