Description:

The GI360 Complete GI GUT stool test by Doctor’s Data is a practitioner only GI GUT test offering a comprehensive stool profile using PCR technology, culture, and microscopy to detect pathogens, viruses, parasites, and bacteria linked to chronic gastrointestinal symptoms.

It also evaluates digestion, inflammation, immunology, short-chain fatty acids, and intestinal health markers like beta-glucuronidase.  These are essential for understanding your GUT’s immune health and thus overall immune function, as well as if your GUT is the root cause of hormone imbalance.

This comprehensive GI GUT Test only available via a health care practitioner assesses 255 biomarkers including H.Pylori and Zonulin.

Zonulin helps us assess if there is increased intestinal permeability (aka leaky GUT), while H.pylori can often be the root issue behind acid reflux, bloating, overall digestive discomfort, food intolerances, peptic ulcers, systemic inflammation and more.

The GI GUT Test results can help you explore gradual, caring adjustments to your lifestyle, nutrition, and self-care practices, and find a path towards improved health and well-being.

The user-friendly home testing kit simplifies the process.

Embrace your curiosity and let the revelation of self-understanding and self-care be a gift to you.

255 Biomarkers Tested including:

  • GUT inflammation including Calprotectin, Lactoferrin and Lysozymes
  • Pancreatic elastase
  • Secretory IgA
  • Butyrate and Proprionate
  • Zonulin
  • Occult blood (FIT)
  • Short chain fatty acids
  • Commensal bacteria’s and microbiome abundance including 45 bacterial strains
  • Candida and yeast cultures
  • Klebsiella, E.coli, Salmonella, Shigella and more
  • Opportunistic bacteria’s including sulphur releasing bacteria’s and LPS producers
  • Mycology, Parasites and viral profiles

Test Methodology:

The analysis of gastrointestinal (GI) samples involves a comprehensive array of techniques targeting various analytes:
  • Multiplex PCR is utilised to detect commensal bacteria and GI pathogens simultaneously, offering a high-throughput method for identifying microbial species.
  • Gold standard microscopy is employed for visualising parasites, worms, and yeasts, ensuring accurate identification and diagnosis.
  • Microscopy is also used to observe red and white blood cells, muscle fibres, vegetable fibres, pollen, and Charcot-Leyden crystals, providing insights into various pathological conditions.
  • Culturing techniques are employed to isolate and identify both commensal and pathogenic bacteria, aiding in understanding their presence and abundance.
  • Macroscopic assessment evaluates stool colour, consistency, and mucus presence, offering additional diagnostic information.
  • BÜHLMANN fCAL® & fPELA® turbo assays measure elastase and calprotectin levels, providing markers of intestinal inflammation.
  • ELISA quantifies lactoferrin, lysozyme, and sIgA, indicating immune activity in the GI tract.
  • Colorimetric methods assess carbohydrates, while Sudan IV staining visualises fat content in the stool.
  • Gas chromatography analyses short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), offering insights into gut microbial metabolism.
  • The guaiac test detects occult blood in stool, and stool pH is measured using ion-selective electrodes (ISE).
This multifaceted approach enables thorough analysis of GI samples, aiding in diagnosis, treatment, and research related to gastrointestinal health and disease.

When should you consider this test?

Consider the GI360 Complete GI GUT Test for comprehensive stool analysis to reveal suspected pathogens, viruses, parasites, and bacteria in chronic GI symptoms, aiding diagnosis, root cause issues and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, nutritional deficiencies and hormone imbalance.
