This is an extensive gut test that looks at pathogens, bacteria, worms, yeasts, parasites and comprehensive antibiotic resistant genes, alongside intestinal health and immune markers. Patients can’t order it directly and have to go through a clinician, but its results are absolutely worth it.
Mine results were key to the diet and supplements my doctor prescribed me. For example, they showed specific bacterial and autoimmune triggers causing inflammation, low secretory IgA (the first line of defense of the immune system), and not enough pancreatic enzymes for protein digestion.
It might be worth asking your doctor about this specific test or a similar one, or calling up Invivo, the diagnostics lab, for a recommendation of a doctor near you. I have found customer service to be very responsive.
