GI Effects Stool Profiles go beyond "old stool technology" to bring you the most comprehensive stool analysis to date. GI Effects Profiles use DNA analysis to identify microbiota — including anaerobes, a previously immeasurable area of the gut environment. In addition to much more comprehensive bacteriology, mycology, and parasitology, GI Effects Profiles report drug resistance genes, antibiotic and botanical sensitivities, gliadin-specific sIgA, Elastase1, plus other inflammation, digestion, and absorption markers clinicians requested — with only one specimen collection.

The Allergix Profiles includes testing options for IgG food antibodies, IgE foods and inhalants, as well as celiac disease. The IgG 30 and 90 profiles relate to "delayed" or non-atopic food reactions that exacerbate or contribute to many different health problems. Simultaneous high levels of many IgG food-specific antibodies are generally associated with intestinal hyperpermability. The less common but widely recognized atopic food sensitivities, such as an immediate reaction to peanuts or shellfish, are IgE-mediated responses. The IgE Inhalant Antibodies Profile measures the IgE levels in serum that react to 28 different regional inhalant antigens. Finally, the Celiac Profile measures IgA human tissue transglutaminase, Serum IgA, and IgA antigliadin antibody to define those individuals likely to have celiac disease.

The Organix Profiles provide a view into the body's cellular metabolic processes and the efficiency of metabolic function. Identifying metabolic blocks that can be treated nutritionally allows individual tailoring of interventions that maximize patient responses and lead to improved patient outcomes. Organic acids are metabolic intermediates that are produced in pathways of central energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitter breakdown, or intestinal microbial activity. Marked accumulation of specific organic acids detected in urine often signals a metabolic inhibition or block. The metabolic block may be due to a nutrient deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficit, toxic build-up or drug effect. Several of the analytes are markers of intestinal bacterial or yeast overgrowth.
