Description

The Gut Microbiome Plus Stool Test includes the microbiological analysis of key aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, as well as fungi and yeasts (Candida albicans and Candida spp.), digestive residues and α-1-antitrypsin, calprotectin, bile acids, pancreatic elastase, secretory IgA and zonulin in the stool. Furthermore, the human intestinal microbiome is determined by sequencing the genome of the intestinal flora.

About this test

The intestinal microbiome, the sum total of all microorganisms that colonize the gut, is vital to human health. A dysbiosis of the gut microbiome is associated – as numerous studies prove – with several diseases: metabolic syndrome, diabetes, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, colon cancer, calcium oxalate kidney stones, cardiovascular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, as well as neurological diseases.

The gut microbiome Plus stool test is performed by means of DNA sequencing (next-generation sequence). This method revolutionized diagnostics as it allowed the detection of almost all bacteria known until then. DNA sequencing allows a more accurate assessment of the effects of individual highly complex microbiota on colonization resistance, digestive processes, absorption of nutrients and vitamins, as well as on immunity. This molecular biological test method also detects anaerobic bacteria at the highest technical level, which cannot be detected via a bacterial culture (cultivation). In addition, this test includes the parameters of the Bowel Health Check including zonulin in the stool.

 

 

The Medivere test set contains a return envelope with a Dutch reply address. This envelope can only be sent from the Netherlands. If you do not have the possibility to send the sample + form from the Netherlands, you can send the sample + accompanying form yourself by express/urgent shipment to Medivere Germany. In that case, the shipping costs are for your account. The address is: Medivere GmbH Hans-Böckler-Straße 109 D-55128 Mainz.

Test preparation

Flat flush toilet: Remove “deodorant”, rinse, do not mix faeces with urine. Deep flush toilet: Use the stool collection material supplied (tool for taking the stool sample).

Test execution

  1. Use the sampling tube from the sample tube to collect samples from the stool at 3 different locations.
  2. Put this in the sample tube up to the mark height (1/2 tube)
  3. Close the tube tightly
  4. Provide the tube with your name and sampling date
  5. Place this tube in the shipping tube.
  6. Do this together with the completely completed sample guidance form in the mailing envelope. Keep the sample in the refrigerator until shipment, but do not freeze! For more information: see manual.

This package contains:

  • 1 Sample Collection Guide
  • 1 Diagnostic Results Guide
  • 1 Sample Guidance Form
  • 1 Warranty formƒ
  • 1 Sample tube incl. label in shipping tube (the stabilizer is irritating. Please do not pour. Please do not let it come into contact with the mucous membranes!)
  • 1 Stool collection material
  • 1 shipping envelop

 

Place the shipping tubes with the completed, signed Sample Guidance Form in the shipping envelope and close it with care. To do this, remove the protective foil on the inside of the blue adhesive tape and press the closing points firmly against each other. Note: The envelope cannot be opened after that. Bring the packed samples to the post office the same day or put them in the letterbox. Returns may only take place on Mondays and Tuesdays and not on weekends or public holidays. In case of extreme heat or frost, do not throw the sample in the letterbox, but preferably hand in the sample at the counter of the post office.
