Tests we may recommend…

SIBO Testing

Ordered through RB LABs (https://hub.rnlabs.com.au/tests?brand=22) from The SIBO Doctor Australia (https://www.thesibodoctor.com/), SIBO testing is a crucial step in identifying and addressing Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Did you know that over 80% of people with IBS have active SIBO? This makes SIBO testing an essential tool in understanding and managing digestive health issues.

What is SIBO?

  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when there is an excessive growth of bacteria in the small intestine.
  • Symptoms may include bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, constipation, and nutrient malabsorption.
  • SIBO can contribute to conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, and leaky gut syndrome.

How Can I Help

As your healthcare provider, I offer full support and guidance throughout the SIBO testing process. I help you make sense of the diagnosis, interpret your test results, and provide complete care by walking you through the next steps towards healing and improved digestive health.

Types of SIBO Tests

A total of 6 SIBO tests are available, all of which are at-home breath tests:

  1. Lactulose Breath Test – $195
  2. Glucose Breath Test – Price varies
  3. Fructose Breath Test – Price varies
  4. Lactulose & Glucose Breath Test – Price varies
  5. Lactulose & Fructose Breath Test – Price varies

HORMONE TESTING

Explore the intricate world of hormone balance and health with our comprehensive hormone testing, all ordered through RN LABS (https://hub.rnlabs.com.au/tests?brand=8) using lability (https://dutchtest.com/). Our hormone testing includes DUTCH Profiling for adrenal health, sex hormones, cycle mapping, and more, providing valuable insights into your hormonal health and balance.

 

Comprehensive Testing

Our hormone testing covers a wide range of parameters, from adrenal health to sex hormones and cycle mapping. The tests are typically urine-based, starting from $299 for basic profiling and ranging up to $865 for complete cycle mapping and more detailed analysis.

 

Understanding Your Hormones

Hormones play a crucial role in regulating various functions in the body, including mood, metabolism, reproductive health, and more. Imbalances in hormone levels can lead to a range of symptoms and health issues, making hormone testing an essential tool for understanding and addressing underlying health concerns.

 

Example of Use

You can see an example of how practitioners use hormone testing on their website here: https://functionalmedicine.com.au/blog/dutch-hormone-test/. This provides a real-world application of how hormone testing can be beneficial in assessing and managing hormonal imbalances.

 

Viral & Autoimmunity Panels

Discover the hidden connections between viral exposure and autoimmune symptoms with our Viral & Autoimmunity Panels, all tests ordered through RN LABS (https://hub.rnlabs.com.au/tests?brand=13) and completed through Immunosciences Lab (https://immunoscienceslab.com/). These comprehensive panels range from the Viral Screen ($389) to the Comprehensive Lyme Panel ($919), offering valuable insights for individuals suffering from ongoing chronic health problems, such as EBV and long COVID.

Understanding the Importance

Please note that these tests are not suitable for individuals with a current viral infection; they are designed for those who have been struggling with ongoing chronic health issues and have not been able to identify the root cause. Certain infectious viral agents can contribute to long-term chronic disease states, including fatigue, immunodeficiency, and autoimmune diseases. Viruses can activate an inflammatory immune response against viral and self-antigens and may affect the ability of T-cells to detect antigens through cross-reaction (molecular mimicry).

How It Works

Our Viral & Autoimmunity Panels use IgG and IgM markers to establish the link between viral exposure and autoimmune symptoms, providing valuable information for personalised treatment plans.

When to Consider

If you feel like your treatments have reached a stalemate and you’re not getting the answers you need, our Viral & Autoimmunity Panels may offer another option for exploration. However, please note that these tests are expensive and not recommended lightly. They are intended for clients who are actively seeking more definitive answers and are willing to invest in comprehensive testing.

Our Approach

While we recognise the value of functional pathology testing, we want to emphasise that treatment will be provided regardless of whether these tests are pursued. We understand that cost can be a concern, and our goal is to work with you to find the most effective and affordable solutions for your health needs.

Unlock the insights hidden within your health challenges. Schedule a consultation today to explore the possibilities of our Viral & Autoimmunity Panels and take the next step towards a clearer understanding of your health journey.

DNA Testing
