GI Effects Comprehensive Profile

The GI Effects Comprehensive Profile assesses three primary domains of gastrointestinal health: Digestion and Absorption

Pancreatic Elastase-1: Evaluates exocrine pancreatic function.

Products of Protein Breakdown: Indicate undigested proteins reaching the colon.

Fecal Fat Analysis: Measures fat breakdown and absorption efficiency.

Inflammation and Immunology

Calprotectin: A marker for neutrophil-driven inflammation, aiding in differentiating between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

Eosinophil Protein X (EPX): Reflects eosinophil-driven inflammation, often associated with allergic responses.

Fecal Secretory IgA (sIgA): Assesses mucosal immune function and barrier integrity.

Fecal Occult Blood Test (FIT): Detects hidden blood, recommended for noninvasive colorectal cancer screening.

Gut Microbiome Composition and Function

Commensal Bacteria Analysis: Utilizes 16S rRNA gene PCR to quantify 24 genera/species across major phyla, providing insights into microbial balance.

Metabolic Indicators: Includes short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and beta-glucuronidase to evaluate microbial metabolic activity.

Pathogen Detection: Identifies pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and parasites through culture and PCR methods.

Dysbiosis Scores: Provides Inflammation-Associated Dysbiosis and Methane Dysbiosis scores to assess microbial imbalance
