Gut Health: functional microbiome testing & Naturopathic consultation
Have you tried everything, from GP & gastroenterologist appointments to promising supplements yet still experience excessive bloating, abdominal discomfort, nausea, diarrhoea/constipation or increasing food sensitivities? It’s time to look a little deeper into your gut health.
Complete microbiome testing assesses:
any infections or pathogens (including Helicobacter pylori, important for any chronic reflux & gastritis cases which can also contribute to constipation)
overgrowths of species normally found in a healthy gut (including bacteria & yeasts such as candida)
gut barrier function
gut immune markers of gluten reactivity
gut inflammation
gut immunity
This test is ideal for anyone who has been told there is ‘nothing wrong‘, has received an IBS diagnosis or has never felt well since a gastrointestinal infection (hello Bali Belly).
A 1:1 Naturopathic consultation is included to assess results & formulate the best treatment to get your gut health back on track. Any recommended prescription items are not included in the price & recommended prescription options will be fully discussed during the consultation.
NOTE: for those with a history of abdominal surgery, Endometriosis, diagnosed Hashimoto’s or have used long term PPI medications for reflux / gastritis, a condition called SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) may be the cause for chronic diarrhoea &/or constipation, excessive bloating, reflux & food reactivity. This microbiome test can give some clues (while not missing any additional factors) however a SIBO breath test is recommended to assess for fermentation & gas production in the small intestine & to direct SIBO specific treatment.
