Evaluates gut health and microbiome composition for digestive wellness.
Digestive and gut health blood tests evaluate markers related to gastrointestinal function, inflammation, and infection. These may include calprotectin (a stool marker for intestinal inflammation that helps distinguish IBS from IBD), H. pylori testing (the bacterium that causes stomach ulcers and is linked to gastric cancer), bile acid levels, and various antibody tests. Gut health is increasingly recognized as central to overall wellness, with the gut microbiome influencing immune function, mental health, nutrient absorption, and systemic inflammation. Testing can help identify treatable conditions causing chronic digestive symptoms.
Key Details
