Which Gut Health Test Should I Undertake?Updated 2 months ago

The appropriate starting point for diagnostic testing is determined by the present symptomatology and clinical presentation.

For bloating, gas, abdominal pain: Consider a SIBO Breath Test to detect Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). This non-invasive test measures hydrogen and methane gases produced by bacteria in the small intestine, providing crucial insights into a common cause of these symptoms.

If the SIBO test yields negative results, or for more generalized symptoms: A GI MAP test provides a comprehensive overview of your gut microbiome and can assist in identifying other etiologies for your symptoms. This advanced stool test analyzes DNA from various microorganisms, providing detailed information on bacterial balance, presence of pathogens, digestive markers, and inflammatory indicators, offering a broader understanding of gut health.
