Gut Microbiome Testing 101

You may benefit from a gut microbiome test if you experience one or more of the following:

o   Gut Issues (eg bloating, flatulence, abdominal pain/cramping, diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion, heart burn, food sensitivities)

o   Autoimmune condition

o   Thyroid Disorder

o   Skin disorders (eg acne, psoriasis, eczema)

o   Hormonal Imbalance (PMS, Painful or Heavy Periods, Mood swings etc)

o   Energy issues and fatigue

o   Mental health or mood disorders

o   Muscular aches and pains

The Complete Microbiome Mapping Test shows us if any bacterial, yeast, viral or fungi overgrowths are present, if you’re absorbing your nutrients optimally, checks for

coeliac marker & inflammation levels and good microbiota ratios/levels.

Digestive signs and symptoms that we may see with gut dysbiosis include bloating, flatulence, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and constipation. Not all will be present and some people can have gut dysbiosis even with no obvious digestive problems.

History of High Antibiotic Use increases the risk of gut dysbiosis being present, which affects your energy levels, mental health, nervous system and hormone balance through reduced nutrient absorption, inflammation and changes in neurotransmitter function.

Long-term implications on health of having poor gut health: gut dysbiosis is an underlying contributor to autoimmune conditions (eg psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis), metabolic diseases (eg obesity and diabetes), depression, anxiety and inflammatory skin conditions.
