GI Effects Comprehensive Panel
The GI Effects test is a comprehensive assessment tool for evaluating gastrointestinal health and function. It analyzes various markers related to digestion, absorption, gut inflammation, and immune function, providing valuable insights into the underlying causes of digestive symptoms and disorders. This test examines biomarkers such as digestive enzymes, markers of inflammation, intestinal permeability (leaky gut), immune response, and microbial balance (bacteria,yeast, and parasites). By measuring these markers, the GI Effects test can helpidentify imbalances, infections, or dysfunctions in the gastrointestinal tract.
Indications:
- Chronic or recurrent gastrointestinal symptoms, such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, or indigestion.
- Suspected gut infections, such as bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), yeast overgrowth (Candida), or parasitic infections.
- Evaluation of intestinal permeability (leaky gut) in individuals with autoimmune diseases, food sensitivities, or inflammatory conditions.
- Assessment of gut inflammation and immune response in conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or celiac disease.
- Monitoring the effectiveness of interventions, such as dietary changes, probiotics, or antimicrobial therapy, aimed at improving gut health and relieving digestive symptoms.
Overall, the GIEffects test offers a comprehensive and personalized approach to assessing gastrointestinal health, guiding targeted interventions to optimize digestive function and overall well-being.
