Love your gut, thrive everyday!

What is a complete microbiome mapping test and what is involved?

 

A complete microbiome mapping test is a comprehensive stool test that analyses the microorganisms living in your gut, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. It provides a detailed overview of your gut health and helps identify imbalances that may contribute to digestive issues, immune dysfunction, inflammation, and other health concerns.

​

What Does It Measure?

• Bacterial Diversity & Balance

• Measures beneficial, opportunistic, and pathogenic bacteria.

• Identifies imbalances such as dysbiosis (an unhealthy gut microbiome).

• Fungal & Yeast Overgrowth

• Detects fungi like Candida, which can contribute to bloating, fatigue, and brain fog.

• Parasites & Pathogens

• Identifies harmful parasites, viruses, and bacteria such as H. pylori, E. coli, C. difficile, and others.

• Inflammation & Gut Barrier Health

• Tests markers like calprotectin and zonulin to assess intestinal permeability (leaky gut).

• Digestive Function

• Liver Function including breakdown of fats

• Gluten intolerance

• Evaluates enzyme levels, bile acids, and fat absorption to assess digestive efficiency.

• Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs)

• Measures SCFAs like butyrate, which support gut lining health and immune function.

• Immune & Detox Markers

• Includes markers such as Secretory IgA to assess immune function in the gut.

​

Who Can Benefit from a Microbiome Mapping Test?

• Individuals with chronic digestive issues (IBS, bloating, constipation, diarrhea).

• Those experiencing food intolerances or sensitivities.

• People with autoimmune conditions or frequent infections.

• Individuals with skin issues (eczema, acne, psoriasis).

• Those struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or mood imbalances.

​

How Is It Done?

• The test is ordered via Nutripath and posted to you.

• The test is a stool sample collected at home and then sent to a lab for analysis.

• Results typically take 2-4 weeks and are reviewed by Kelly.

• Patient to receive full report with a breakdown of results.​​
