Microbiome tests
Microbiome tests are performed to identify the microbes present in an individual's gut using a fresh stool sample. Molecular analysis of the microbiome can be used to make recommendations on nutrition, diet, and supplements for the individual. Further, microbiome tests can help doctors diagnose diseases inflicting the digestive system such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Celiac disease.
