What is the Microbia Gut Test?

Diagnostic Test

How does Microbia Gut Testing work?

A Microbia Gut Test is a comprehensive and non-invasive stool analysis which is responsible for measuring the diversity, balancing, and analysing the health of your gut microbiome. Compared with other basic tests which only look for harmful pathogens, this test works with advanced gut sequencing to map out both beneficial and opportunistic bacteria that live in your gastrointestinal tract.

This works by analysing the genetic material of the microorganisms that are living inside your digestive tract. Instead of relying only on traditional cultures which might miss delicate or hard-to-grow bacteria, this test actually uses an advanced Next-Generation DNA Sequencing. Through the extraction of microbial DNA from a tiny stool sample, the laboratory will be able to identify specific bacterial species and be able to map out specific biological functions within your body.

Several benefits include:

  • Rebalancing your gut
  • Relief physical symptoms such as chronic gas, bloating, and irregular digestion
  • Helps absorb essential nutrients better
  • Clears up any unpredictable digestive issues
  • Improves daily mood
  • Boosts body confidence

Why do you need a microbia gut test?

By undergoing a Microbia Gut Test, it will allow you to have an idea or overview inside your digestive ecosystem. Through analysing your gut’s unique genetic fingerprint, this type of test will empower you in optimising your nutrition, supporting your immune system, and addressing root causes of your digestive discomfort.

Some of the common reasons include:

  • Constant fatigue
  • Difficulty dealing with stress
  • Unexplained gaining of weight
  • Unexplained bloating
  • Irregular bowel habits
  • Skin flare-ups
  • Brain fog
  • Difficulty with digestion

The journey
Consultation Preparation Treatment Recovery
1
Consultation

Just like any test or treatment, your journey with the Microbia Gut Test will also begin with an evaluation. Sometimes it might be self-guided or alongside a functional medicine practitioner. The primary purpose of this is to identify your primary digestive goals like clearing brain fog, resolving any bloating, or most of the time balancing your immunity.

2
Preparation

The preparation for your sample for a Microbia Gut Test is very straightforward. In order to fully ensure the accuracy of the results, you might be advised to pause any non-essential probiotics intake or any specific antimicrobial supplements for a few days before you take the sample.

3
Treatment

The test is typically conducted in your home. By using a specialised kit, you will collect a small stool sample then sealing it in a stabilising solution, and then send it directly to your chosen processing laboratory.

4
Recovery

Now once your sample is already processed, your data will be translated into an easy-to-read report. Generally, it does not have any physical recovery required. You can immediately return and continue applying your personalised lifestyle and other dietary updates.

The procedure
Step By Step Procedure
How is it done?
  • You will need to collect a tiny stool sample at home through the use of a sterile kit and stabilising buffer which generally preserves the DNA during transit.
  • Once the laboratory has received your sample, the lab will then extract the microbial genetic material and will run it through the high-throughput sequencing machines.
  • Using advanced algorithms, it will cross-reference your genetic sequence against the vast global microbial databases.
  • The raw genetic data will now be translated into a personalised and actionable dietary as well as its metabolic insights.
Waiting For The Result
How long do I wait to get the results?

Typically, your DNA report would usually arrive in a few weeks. You might notice visible improvements in bloating and digestion typically within 10 to 14 days once you started targeted dietary updates.

Fasting Requirement
Do I need to fast before the test?

There is actually no need for fasting when undergoing a microbia gut test. However, you might be advised to take a pause in taking non-essential probiotics or any antimicrobial supplements for a few days before taking the test.

Testing Frequency
How often should testing be done?

The majority of the clinical experts typically suggest re-taking the test generally every 3 to 6 months in order to regularly track the microbial progress after making the targeted dietary interventions.
