Gut Microbiome Test Large: Detailed Gut Health Assessment

The Gut Microbiome Test Large from GetTested is a thorough test that evaluates key aspects of gut health. It measures digestive functions, digestive residues, and the levels of various bacteria and yeasts in the intestinal flora. Additionally, it assesses digestive malabsorption and inflammatory markers. This test aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of your digestive system and gut flora health.

Who Would Benefit from the Gut Microbiome Test Large?

Individuals with digestive issues, such as imbalances in gut flora, candida overgrowth, or food digestion difficulties, will find this test particularly beneficial. It offers an in-depth analysis of potential gut imbalances and can aid in preventing future health problems.

Components of the Gut Microbiome Test Large

This comprehensive test encompasses:

• Evaluations of 13 types of gut bacteria, like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus.
• Analyses of 4 yeast types, including Candida albicans and Geotrichum candidum.
• pH value assessments.
• Digestive residue checks for fat, nitrogen, sugar, and water.
• Measurements of secretory IgA, pancreatic elastase, bile acids, alpha-1 antitrypsin, and calprotectin.

Understanding Yeast Overgrowth

The test also focuses on Candida albicans, a yeast that, in moderate amounts, aids digestion and nutrient absorption but can cause health issues if overgrown. Factors such as antibiotics, diet, heavy metal poisoning, and certain medications can lead to yeast overgrowth. Thus, the test includes analysis of Candida spp., Geotrichum candidum, and general yeast levels.
