Description

Mobile Care Health Microbiome Testing. Mobile Care offers testing that provides information on inflammation and how well you digest and absorb your food. Stool testing can also uncover imbalances in yeast, parasites, and healthy and unhealthy bacteria that live in the large intestine. This bacterial population is called the microbiome. Microbiome testing assesses key functional areas of gut health, including digestion and absorption, inflammation, bacteria and bacterial metabolism, yeast, and parasites.

Complete your testing in four easy steps:

1. Book your telehealth nutritional testing visit here ($29)
2. Talk with us about your health, and we help you order testing. Your test kit is shipped to your door.
3. Complete your testing from the comfort of your home with buccal (cheek) swabs, finger stick blood spots, and urine.
4. Virtual visit with our provider to discuss your results and a plan for improving your health.

Microbiome Testing

• Pancreatic Elastase-1 is a marker of exocrine pancreatic function.
• Products of Protein Breakdown are markers of undigested protein reaching the colon.
• Fecal Fat is a marker of fat breakdown and absorption.
• Calprotectin is a marker of neutrophil-driven inflammation.
• Eosinophil Protein X is a marker of eosinophil-driven inflammation and allergic response.
• Fecal Secretory IgA is a marker of gut secretory immunity and barrier function.
• Fecal Occult Blood Test detects hidden blood; fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) has been recommended by the American College of Gastroenterology as the preferred noninvasive test for colorectal cancer screening/detection.

• Metabolic indicators, including short-chain fatty acids and beta-glucuronidase, demonstrate specific and vital metabolic functions performed by the microbiota.
• Commensal Bacteria demonstrate the composition, abundance and patterns of gut organisms.
  • GI Effects assesses a set of 24 genera/species that map to 7 major phyla.
  • 16S rRNA gene polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) amplification technique
• Bacterial and mycology sensitivities are provided for pathogenic or potentially pathogenic organisms that have been cultured. The report includes effective prescriptive and natural agents.
• Parasitology includes comprehensive testing for all parasites on every parasitology exam ordered.
  • Microscopic fecal specimen examination for ova and parasites (O&P)
  • 6 Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) targets detect common protozoal parasites including Blastocystis spp., Cryptosporidium parvum/hominis, Cyclospora cayetanensis, Dientamoeba fragilis, Entamoeba histolytica, and Giardia.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

SIBO is a common clinical condition characterized by excessive bacteria in the small intestine and can develop in various patient populations. SIBO Profiles are non-invasive breath tests which capture exhaled hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4) gases following patient ingestion of a Lactulose ℞ solution to evaluate small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO).
