Digestive Health Panel


Digestive Health Panel
Evidence suggests that many chronic health issues arise from disturbances in the GI tract. Problems with digestion, absorption, elimination, and/or microbiome balance can have far reaching effects in the body. A comprehensive stool analysis is a fantastic tool to assess the overall health of the GI system and pinpoint the specific areas that need attention.
This thorough test provides detailed information about digestion, absorption, bacterial balance, yeast overgrowth, inflammation, metabolic activity, and immune function. If you have been suffering from GI symptoms, have an autoimmune condition or other health concerns, such as skin issues, fatigue, depression, or joint pain, this test is highly recommended.
