GI Effects® Stool Test

The GI Effects® Comprehensive Stool Profile is a functional stool test by Genova Diagnostics that provides detailed insight into digestive function, intestinal inflammation, and the gut microbiome.

It uses advanced laboratory technologies and biomarkers to assess gastrointestinal health and helps identify imbalances that may be associated with digestive and systemic symptoms.

The test evaluates how the body digests and absorbs nutrients, while also assessing the balance of microorganisms in the intestinal tract.

What The GI Effects Test Reveals

Your report covers:

• Digestive function and how well food is broken down and absorbed
  
• Intestinal inflammation markers
  
• Gut microbiome balance and diversity
  
• Presence of bacteria, yeast, and parasites in the gastrointestinal tract
  
• Markers linked to intestinal immune activity
  
• Indicators related to gut environment and microbial activity
  
• Additional biomarkers used to support a broader view of gastrointestinal health

How The Test Works

The GI Effects test uses stool samples analysed in a laboratory using multiple methods, including:

• Molecular testing techniques, PCR technology
  
• Microbial culture analysis
  
• Additional biomarker-based testing, depending on the panel selected

These methods are combined to provide a comprehensive assessment of gastrointestinal health.
