    What is Gut Microbiome test?

    A Gut Microbiome test examines the tiny organisms living in the digestive system by studying their DNA from a stool sample. It checks for different types of bacteria, their variety and if they are balanced.

    The test works by reading specific parts of microbial DNA to identify bacteria and other microbes like yeast or by analysing all genetic material in the sample to detect a wider range of microbes, including viruses and fungi.

    An imbalance in gut bacteria, called dysbiosis, happens when there are too few good bacteria, too many harmful ones, or not enough variety. This can weaken digestion and immune defences, making the body more vulnerable to infections and diseases. Dysbiosis is linked to conditions like diarrhoea, colitis, and inflammatory bowel disease. It may also be connected to irritable bowel syndrome, obesity, diabetes, liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and even mental health problems like anxiety and depression.

    By studying gut microbes, Gut Microbiota testing helps find imbalances and understand health risks. Knowing what bacteria are present can help to decide on treatment plans, improve digestion, and support overall well-being. A healthy gut microbiome plays an important role in breaking down food, producing vitamins, and keeping harmful bacteria under control. A balanced microbiome is essential for good health, and a Gut Health test at home can help check if it is working properly.

    Gut Microbiome test Parameters

    Gut Microbiota testing examines the tiny organisms living in the digestive system. It helps understand gut health by measuring different factors. The test includes a Gut Microbiome Index, which shows how diverse the gut bacteria are, and a Disease Risk Index, which checks if certain bacteria may be linked to health issues. It also looks at Antibiotic Susceptibility to see if any bacteria are resistant to antibiotics. Pathogen Characterisation helps detect harmful microbes, while Nutritional, Probiotic, and Prebiotic Recommendations suggest diet changes to improve gut health.

    The gut may contain over 1,000 species of microorganisms. Along with bacteria, other tiny organisms like viruses and yeasts also live there. Gut bacteria perform essential roles, such as aiding digestion, producing nutrients, and controlling inflammation. They function like the immune system, supporting health but sometimes contributing to disease. Stool analysis helps identify the types and functions of these microbes.

    The gut’s main bacterial groups, Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes, vary widely among individuals. Some have 90% Bacteroidetes, while others have 90% Firmicutes. There is no single “healthy” microbiome, but imbalances may indicate a need for improvement.

    The Microbiome test measures Relative Abundance, which shows the proportion of each bacterial type, and Absolute Abundance, which tells how many bacteria are present. It also looks at Evenness (the balance between species) and Richness (the total number of species).

    Gut Microbiome test Preparation

    Below are key details to help you prepare for the Gut Health test:

    • Prerequisites: No special preparations, such as fasting, are needed for the Gut Health test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: The test can be done at any time of the day, but collecting a stool sample from the first morning pass is recommended for the most accurate results.

    • Who Should Get the Gut Microbiome Test: Gut biome testing can be done for individuals with digestive issues, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, food intolerance, autoimmune conditions, or frequent infections and individuals wanting to improve gut health.

    Cautions Before Taking the Gut Microbiome Test

    To ensure accurate results, please follow these guidelines carefully before collecting your sample:

    • Sample Timing : Preferably collect 2–3 scoops of the stool sample from your first morning bowel movement.

    • Avoid Contamination : Make sure the sample is not mixed with water, urine, blood, or any other substances.

    • Antibiotic Use : If you've recently taken antibiotics, wait at least 5 days after completing the course before collecting your sample—unless advised otherwise by your physician.

    • During Menstruation : Women should avoid collecting the sample during their menstrual cycle to prevent contamination.

    • Age Requirement : This test is recommended for individuals above 6 years of age . For younger individuals, a doctor’s prescription or a certified nutritionist’s recommendation is required.

    • Collection Method : Always use the provided collection frame and tube containing the DNA stabilizer liquid.

    • Storage & Pickup : After collecting the sample, seal it in the provided return envelope and store it in a cool, dry place until it is picked up.

    Following these precautions will help ensure your gut microbiome test is processed smoothly and yields reliable results.

    Why Take the Gut Microbiome test?

    The Gut Health test is recommended for people who have:

    • Digestive Problems: Frequent bloating, loose stools, constipation, stomach pain, or gas may mean the gut bacteria are out of balance, affecting digestion.

    • Gut Infections: Harmful bacteria can cause stomach infections, diarrhoea, and swelling in the gut, sometimes leading to serious health problems.

    • Long-Term Health Issues: People with gut-related conditions like Crohn’s disease or bowel inflammation often have an unhealthy gut balance, making symptoms worse.

    • Heart and Weight Issues: Some gut bacteria produce substances that can increase the risk of heart disease. Gut imbalances can also lead to weight gain, diabetes, and liver problems.

    • Other Health Concerns: This test may help individuals with allergies, asthma, tiredness, mood changes, anxiety, or nerve-related problems.

    • Signs of an Unhealthy Gut: People with gas, bloating, stomach pain, diarrhoea, or constipation may benefit from this test.
