Recent evidence now confirms that GI abnormalities are associated with many conditions outside the GI tract. General GI Extra-intestinal Specific GI Dysfunction: Indications: Indigestion Osteoporosis Post Inflammatory IBS Constipation Diabetes Crohns Disease or Ulcerative Colitis (IBD) Diarrhea Arthritis Family history of IBD Gas and Bloating Autoimmune disease Family history of Gastrointestinal cancers Recent use of antibiotics Fibromyalgia Pancreatic Insufficiency GI infection/Dysbiosis Chronic Fatigue Gallstones Abdominal Pain Digestion/Absorption Markers: (Pancreatic Elastase, Putrefactive SCFAs, n-Butyrate) - Direct measure of Pancreatic Digestive Enzyme output without interference from digestive supplements, changes in stool transit time or marker variability. Low levels of digestive enzyme output are associated with intestinal and Extra-intestinal conditions. Gut Immunology Markers: (Calprotectin, Eosinophil Protein X) - This quantitative analysis identifies mild, moderate or severe inflammation within the GI tract. Elevations of these markers are associated with infection (bacterial, viral, & parasitic), food allergy, NSAID enteropathy, IBD and neoplasia. - GI inflammation is associated with Intestinal and Extra-intestinal conditions. Metabolic Markers: (Short Chain Fatty Acids, pH, Beta-glucuronidase, Bile Acids) - Abnormal levels of Short Chain Fatty Acids may indicate alterations in gut flora, insufficient dietary fiber, altered transit time and small bowel bacteria overgrowth. - The chemistry markers identify imbalances that are associated with increased toxic burden within the colon, increasing long-term risk for colon and breast cancers. Microbiology Markers: (Bacteriology, Mycology) - Quantitative measures of the beneficial flora Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium - Quantitative measures of additional flora, including strict pathogenic bacteria and potentially pathogenic and bacteria and yeast. - An imbalance in GI flora is associated with Intestinal and Extra-intestinal conditions. Parasitology: (EIA and microscopic evaluation) - With the highest documented recovery rates (22% positivity rate), this Parasitology exam quantifies all ova and parasites identified. - Includes microscopic evaluation for yeast and blood cells.
