What is Gut Health Testing?

Gut Health Testing involves a series of advanced diagnostic tests that evaluate the health of your digestive system, specifically your gut microbiome. The gut is home to trillions of microorganisms that play a critical role in digestion, immunity, and overall health. Imbalances in the gut can lead to conditions such as IBS, bloating, chronic inflammation, and food sensitivities.

At Phenom HPM, we use a range of tests, including comprehensive stool analysis, food sensitivity testing, and microbiology profiling, to get a clear understanding of your gut health and pinpoint the underlying causes of your symptoms.

Our Comprehensive Testing Services

Gut Health Testing Analyzes

Phenom Company’s testing reveals imbalances, inflammation, food sensitivities, and pathogens in your gut. By analyzing digestive function, we identify key factors affecting your well-being and provide targeted strategies for improved digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health.

Gut Microbiome Imbalance

The gut microbiome consists of beneficial bacteria that help with digestion, immune function, and nutrient absorption. An imbalance, known as dysbiosis, can result in symptoms like bloating, gas, IBS, and inflammation. Gut health testing helps us assess the balance of bacteria in your digestive tract and identify any harmful pathogens or bacterial overgrowth that could be contributing to your symptoms.

Inflammation and Gut Health

Chronic inflammation in the gut can lead to conditions like IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and even affect your immune system. Our testing evaluates markers of inflammation, allowing us to identify gut-related inflammation and develop strategies to reduce it. Reducing gut inflammation is key to improving digestive health and preventing further complications.

Food Sensitivities and Intolerances

Many digestive issues stem from food sensitivities or intolerances, which can lead to symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. By conducting food sensitivity testing, we identify the specific foods that may be triggering your symptoms. With this information, we can recommend dietary changes that reduce inflammation and improve digestion.

Digestive Function and Absorption

Our gut health testing also analyzes how well your digestive system is breaking down and absorbing nutrients. Poor digestion or malabsorption can lead to nutrient deficiencies and symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, or bloating. Testing for digestive enzymes and nutrient absorption helps us optimize your digestive health and ensure your body is getting the nutrients it needs.

Parasites and Pathogens

Our comprehensive stool analysis tests for the presence of harmful pathogens like parasites, bacteria, and viruses that can disrupt gut health. Identifying and treating these infections is crucial for restoring gut balance and improving your digestive function.
