The microbiome stool test is possible from the age of 4.<\/p>\n
The intestinal microbiome \u2013 all the microorganisms that colonise the gut \u2013 is of essential importance for human health. As numerous studies show, dysbiosis of the gut microbiome is associated with various diseases: metabolic syndrome, diabetes, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn\u2019s disease and ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, calcium oxalate kidney stones, cardiovascular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and neurological disorders.<\/p>\n
The gut microbiome is analysed by DNA sequencing (next-generation sequencing). This method has revolutionised diagnostics because it makes it possible to detect almost all known bacteria. DNA sequencing allows a more precise assessment of how the individual, highly complex microbiota affects colonisation resistance, digestive processes, absorption of nutrients and vitamins, and immunity. This molecular biological method also detects anaerobic bacteria that cannot be cultured.<\/p>\n
In addition, this test includes the parameters of the gut health check, including zonulin in stool. Besides the Florastatus analysis, the gut health check covers digestive performance and capacity as well as the condition and function of the intestinal mucosa and the gut-associated immune system.<\/p>\n
