- Digestion/Absorption:
- Pancreatic Elastase 1
- Putrefactive Short–Chain Fatty Acids
- Additional biomarkers available
- Chymotrypsin
- Fecal Fats
- Inflammation/Immunology:
- Eosinophil Protein X (EPX)
- Calprotectin
- Gut Metabolic Markers
- Beneficial Short–Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) with n–Butyrate
- pH
- Beta–Glucuronidase
- Secondary Bile Acids
- Lithocholic acid (LCA)
- Deoxycholic acid (DCA)
- LCA/DCA Ratio
Gut Microbiology Markers: beneficial intestinal microflora, imbalanced flora, and bacterial or fungal possible pathogens
- Beneficial Bacteria
- Additional Bacteria
- Mycology (yeast and fungus)
The Comprehensive Parasitology Profile is a thorough analysis to detect the presence of intestinal parasites:
- Parasitology Microscopic
- Parasitology Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the identification of:
- Cryptosporidium
- Giardia lamblia
- Entamoeba histolytic
Susceptibility to Parasite Infection
It is generally assumed that travel to a Third World country or the occasional camping trip are prerequisites for acquiring a parasite infection. Owing to a combination of extensive worldwide travel, increasing immigration to the United States, day care centers and other sources of easy transmission, anyone is now susceptible. Diarrheal diseases, in fact, (bacterial as well as parasitic) constitute the greatest worldwide cause of morbidity and mortality.
