GI Microbiome Profile Small

Our GI Microbiome Profile test is a home test kit. After ordering, we will send you a kit with everything you need to collect the stool sample. Then, simply return your sample to us in the pre-paid envelope.

2 weeks before the test, stop taking antibiotics, antifungal drugs, antimicrobial herbs, and NSAIDs unless advised otherwise by your practitioner. 3 days before the test, stop taking oral castor oil, probiotics, laxatives, aspirin, or ibuprofen, as well as any gut-related supplements like pre- and probiotics, digestive enzymes, detox/liver herbs, minerals, and amino acids. 2 days before the test, follow your normal diet, including a variety of foods such as meat, fish, vegetables, carbohydrates, and fats. Vegetarians and vegans can continue with their regular diet.

The sample remains stable for up to 10 days at ambient temperature and 12 days if refrigerated. It is important not to freeze the specimen to maintain its integrity.

Once we receive your sample, average response time is 10-14 business days to receive results.

Individuals experiencing digestive issues, such as bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort, should consider getting a GI Microbiome Profile test. This test is also beneficial for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of their gut health, identify imbalances in gut bacteria, or explore potential triggers for autoimmune conditions or food sensitivities. Additionally, it’s ideal for anyone looking to optimize their digestive health or address long-standing gut-related concerns.
