The GUT REPAIR PROGRAMME DIGESTION AND MICROBIOME COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT

The health of your gut and your microbiome have a profound effect on your health and the functioning of your body. The BodhiGen Gut Repair Programme includes an in-depth analysis of your gut look at the following markers:

  • Digestion/Absorption:

    • Pancreatic Elastase-1 is a marker of exocrine pancreatic function.

    • Products of Protein Breakdown are markers of undigested protein reaching the colon.

    • Fecal Fat is a marker of fat breakdown and absorption.

  • Inflammation/Immunology:

    • Calprotectin is a marker of neutrophil-driven inflammation. Produced in abundance at sites of inflammation, this biomarker has been proven clinically useful in differentiating between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).3,4

    • Eosinophil Protein X is a marker of eosinophil-driven inflammation and allergic response.

    • Fecal Secretory IgA is a marker of gut secretory immunity and barrier function.

  • Gut Microbiome:

    • Metabolic indicators, including short-chain fatty acids and beta-glucuronidase, demonstrate specific and vital metabolic functions performed by the microbiota.

    • Commensal Bacteria demonstrate the composition and relative abundance of gut organisms.

      • More than 95% of commensal gut organisms are anaerobic and are difficult to recover by traditional (aerobic) culture techniques.

      • GI Effects assesses a set of 24 genera/species that map to 7 major phyla.

    • Bacterial and mycology cultures demonstrate the presence of specific beneficial and pathological organisms.

    • Bacterial and mycology sensitivities are provided for pathogenic or potentially pathogenic organisms that have been cultured. The report includes effective prescriptive and natural agents.

    • Parasitology includes comprehensive testing for all parasites on every parasitology exam ordered.

      • GI Effects provides microscopic fecal specimen examination for ova and parasites (O&P), the gold standard of diagnosis for many parasites.

      • 6 Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targets detect common protozoan parasites including Blastocystis spp. with reflex subtyping 1-9, Cryptosporidium spp., Cyclospora cayetanensis, Dientamoeba fragilis, Entamoeba histolytica, and Giardia. PCR for organisms is emerging as a highly sensitive method for infectious organism detection.

      • Selection of a one-day or three-day sample collection is based on the clinician's clinical index of suspicion for parasitic infection. If there is no/low suspicion, a one-day sample will likely be adequate. For high suspicion, a three-day sample collection is optimal.

  • Additional Biomarkers Available:

    • Campylobacter

    • Clostridium difficile

    • Escherichia coli

    • Fecal Lactoferrin

    • Helicobacter pylori

    • Macro Exam for Worms

    • Zonulin Family Peptide

    • KOH Preparation for Yeast
