Digestive issues such as bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, or diarrhea may be linked to imbalances in gut health. The GI Effects Test is a comprehensive stool analysis that evaluates digestion, absorption, inflammation, and the balance of gut microbes. It helps uncover the root causes of persistent gastrointestinal symptoms and provides insight into overall gut function.

Why GI Effects Test Matters?

Your gut plays a vital role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immunity, and overall well-being. This test identifies imbalances in gut bacteria, signs of inflammation, or poor digestive function. Early detection supports better management of gut-related conditions and helps guide dietary, lifestyle, or therapeutic interventions.
