Digestive System Tests

Tests that assess the digestive system can uncover imbalances such as intestinal wall permeability, small bowel bacterial overgrowth, enzyme deficiencies, malabsorption, Candida yeast presence, poor immune function, parasite activity, specific intolerances, and bacterial infection.

Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis

The Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysisis (CSDA) is a stool test that offers insight into the diagnosis and treatment of people with digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel diseas. It assesses digestion, absorption, bacterial balance, yeast and parasites.

Intestinal Permeability Test

The Intestinal Permeability Test, also called the Lactulose and Mannitol Test, is a urine test used to detect "leaky gut" and malabsorption.

Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth Breath Test

The Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth Breath Test is a simple test that detects bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine, a condition often involved in chronic bloating, gas, diarrhea, irritable bowel, constipation, and abdominal pain.
