Indications: The GI360 Microbiome Profile is a gut microbiota DNA analysis tool that identifies and characterizes the abundance and diversity of more than 45 targeted analytes that peer-reviewed research has shown to contribute to dysbiosis and other chronic disease states. The Dysbiosis Index (DI) is a calculation with scores from 1 to 5 based on…

Fructose is a simple monosaccharide found in many plant foods and is widely used as a sweetening additive in the form of fructose corn syrup, a mixture of glucose and fructose. Its consumption has risen in recent years. Non-absorbed fructose produces gastrointestinal symptoms in the large bowel when metabolised by colonic bacteria, which may be…
read moreLactose Intolerance – Breath hydrogen & methane test [IBTL]
Lactose, a disaccharide, is not normally absorbed directly from the gut, but is broken down into glucose and galactose by the enzyme lactase. If the lactase is absent (or insufficient for the dietary load of lactose), then non-absorbed lactose will be the pass into the lower small intestine and the colon. This may result in…

Over the past two decades there has been sustained interest in essential fatty acid supplementation. The focus has now switched from supplementation with fish oil to the use of oils containing specific, enhanced concentrations of named essential fatty acids. In the late 1990s large clinical trials were published supporting the cardiovascular benefits of consumption of…

Endomysial Antibodies (IgA) [EIGA]
Endomysial antibodies are a type of immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody found in the blood of individuals with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten consumption. These antibodies target tissue transglutaminase (tTG), an enzyme involved in protein modification within the connective tissue known as the endomysium, which surrounds smooth muscle cells in various organs, including…
