Gastrointestinal Testing: What Is It?

Gastrointestinal testing is an umbrella term used to describe the testing of your stomach and intestinal health. This can either look at the functionality of the GI tract or the health of your digestive system.

This testing can uncover a range of issues, from food allergies and intolerances to underlying infections or conditions. It can also be used to assess the balance of your gut flora or to confirm the diagnosis of a GI condition.

At CMC Health & Wellness, our team of experts can provide a range of gastrointestinal tests. Whether you are looking to improve your health and wellbeing, or are suffering from a range of issues, we are here to help.

The Benefits of Gastrointestinal Testing

Gastrointestinal testing offers a range of benefits. It can help to uncover issues that may be affecting your health, allowing you to correct any dietary or lifestyle errors that could be causing your distress.

It can also help to detect any underlying conditions or infections before they become too serious. This can save you from a number of complications and potentially allow for easier and more effective treatment.

Finally, gastrointestinal testing can enable you to understand your body better. It can help to identify any allergies or intolerances, inform dietary choices, and ultimately allow you to make better decisions about your health and wellbeing.

Types of Gastrointestinal Tests

At CMC Health & Wellness, we offer a range of tests to assess your gastrointestinal health. These include:

• Breath Tests: Breath tests measure levels of hydrogen and methane in the breath, allowing us to assess the fermentation of carbohydrates in the GI tract. This can help us to identify issues such as bacterial overgrowth and food intolerances.

• Stool Tests: Stool tests can help to assess levels of bacteria, parasites, and inflammatory markers in the gut. This can help us to diagnose conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Crohn’s disease, as well as uncover any underlying infections.

• Fibre Tests: Fibre tests measure levels of short-chain fatty acids in the stool. This can help to identify which types of dietary fibre are being broken down in the GI tract, enabling us to assess how well the body is processing food.

• Intestinal Permeability Tests: Intestinal permeability tests assess how well the gut is able to absorb nutrients. This is an important indicator of general health, as it can highlight any issues with digestion or absorption.

• Fecal Calprotectin Tests: Fecal calprotectin tests measure levels of a protein released by white blood cells during inflammation. This can help to identify potential irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other inflammatory issues.
