GI Advanced
A full stool workup checking gut bacteria balance, parasites, yeast, H. pylori, and leaky gut.
Why You Should Take This Test
Bloating, irregularity, and digestive discomfort can have many causes. This stool panel may help your provider identify patterns involving bacteria, parasites, yeast, inflammation, and intestinal permeability.
Who It's For
Anyone with ongoing bloating, irregular digestion, or gut symptoms that haven't resolved with diet changes alone.
Benefits
- 130+ markers covering your microbiome balance, parasites, yeast overgrowth, and H. pylori in one test.
