Description of Gut Check XL
Gut Check XL - A Comprehensive Intestinal Examination
The Gut Check XL is a comprehensive intestinal examination where you can get information about leaky gut, overgrowth of yeast fungi (including Candida), levels of the most commonly occurring bacteria in the gut such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. The test also analyzes how your digestion works, whether you suffer from malabsorption or any residual products in the digestive process.
What is leaky gut?
Leaky gut is a condition where microscopic holes form in the intestinal mucosa, allowing small particles like undigested food, bacteria, and other substances to leak into the bloodstream. Normally, these particles are not meant to be there, so the immune system perceives them as threats and responds by attacking various tissues in the body. Depending on where this happens, it can result in various diseases, such as hypo/hyperthyroidism, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, allergies, IBS, fatigue, and many other autoimmune diseases.
If leaky gut is not treated, it can lead to a range of symptoms such as food intolerances, stomach troubles, fatigue, brain fog, weakened immune system, skin issues, joint problems, depression, and much more. Since you can't feel if you have a leaky gut, it might take time before understanding it could be the cause of various problems. It's thus crucial to test for leaky gut in the presence of many different diseases and symptoms.
How does the test work?
The test is a stool test that you collect at home and then send to the laboratory for analysis. Once you've ordered the test, we send a test kit to your home with everything you need to take the sample. You'll receive the result in digital format.

Hej Carola och tack för ditt meddelande,
Det är för pH-värdet i tjocktarmen. Vi testar inte för magsyra specifikt men vi testar för matsmältningsrester varav bl.a. protein och även allmän matsmältningsfunktion.
Hoppas att detta besvarade din funderingar.
Med vänliga hälsningar,
