GI Effects Comprehensive Profile (GIFX)
GI Effects is an innovative stool test measuring premier biomarkers of gastrointestinal function, providing valuable clinical insight into digestive performance, gut inflammation, and the gut microbiome — areas affecting not only GI health, but overall health as well.
Functional testing can help uncover the root cause of many chronic conditions that often frustrate both physician and patient. The scope of the biomarkers on the GI Effects Stool Profile provides comprehensive information to the clinician for the development of strategic interventions. As identified functional imbalances and inadequacies become more normalized through targeted dietary, lifestyle, and supplementation therapeutics, intractable symptoms often improve for many patients.

- Digestion
- Inflammation
- Gut microbiome
- Functional imbalance scores incorporating biomarkers from 5 functional categories:
- Maldigestion
- Inflammation
- Dysbiosis
- Metabolic imbalance
- Infection
- Therapeutic support options to provide potential treatment ideas.
- Commensal Balance Infographic for precise analysis of commensal bacteria (PCR) results:
- Total and relative comparisons to healthy and unhealthy commensal patterns.
- Includes:

- Methane Dysbiosis Score (Immune Suppression)
- Clinical Association Charts to compare patient results with patterns observed in specific clinical conditions:
- IBS
- IBD

Correlations are now evident between many disease processes and patterns of microbiome dysbiosis in both gut dysfunction and extra-intestinal disorders.
- Autism
- Autoimmune
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Celiac and Other Malabsorption Disorders
- Diabetes
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
