A gut health test can detect imbalances and triggers that are characteristic for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and gained important insights on how to treat the symptoms effectively.

You will be sent a kit with directions on how to take a small sample of stool at home. Once you have the sample, you mail it to a lab for testing. The lab uses advanced technology, sometimes even DNA sequencing, to identify the types and levels of microorganisms in your gut.
