Digestive Testing Can Reveal Hidden Issues
Digestive complaints are among the most important issues to discuss with your physician. Why? Because common symptoms—like sharp pain, cramping, bloating, distention, fullness, or burning—are often overlooked or labeled with a broad diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and the underlying causes can be ignored. Digestive, or Gastrointestinal (GI), testing can help reveal the real problems and speed healing.
The Benefits of Digestive Testing
Digestive testing can help identify:
- Imbalances in healthy bacteria
- Parasitic or candida infections
- Food sensitivities
- Nutrient deficiencies
Analysis of digestive enzymes and nutrient levels helps us create a targeted treatment plan to restore your digestive health and get you back on track quickly.
Our Digestive Testing Services
Several different tests are available depending upon your symptoms, including:
- Stool, or gut microbiome: Determines the microbes in your gut and allows us to design a personalized treatment plan. An optimal microbiome supports weight management, cravings, mood, and your immune system.
- Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) breath testing: Identifies Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), a condition with excess bacteria in the small intestine leading to bloating, abdominal pain, and constipation.
- Food allergy and sensitivity testing: Detects antibody reactions to food antigens that may cause fatigue, brain fog, rashes, weight gain resistance, joint pain, and digestive problems. We also address underlying causes, including leaky gut.
- Micronutrient testing: Provides a comprehensive nutrient analysis, measuring functional deficiencies at the cellular level. It assesses how efficiently your body utilizes vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, antioxidants, and metabolites.
Personalized Gut Health Treatment
Testing is only the first step. Once we identify the root causes of your digestive symptoms, we create a personalized treatment plan designed to restore balance and support long-term digestive health.
Depending on your results, treatment recommendations may include:
- Targeted nutritional supplements
- Dietary modifications and food elimination strategies
- Gut microbiome support
- Treatment for bacterial, yeast, or parasitic overgrowth
- Lifestyle recommendations to reduce inflammation and improve digestion
- Ongoing monitoring and follow-up care
Our goal is to address the underlying causes of digestive dysfunction, not just manage symptoms, so you can experience lasting improvements in your gut health and overall well-being.
If you’re experiencing ongoing digestive symptoms, bloating, food sensitivities, or other gut health concerns, our team can help determine which digestive testing and treatment options are right for you. Schedule a gut health consultation to take the first step toward better digestive health.
