For some people, the pounds do not fall away even when they avoid carbohydrates and sugar, follow a strict diet, or exercise regularly. In fact, the gut flora may be responsible. Scientific studies have shown that people with obesity have a different distribution of intestinal bacteria compared with people of normal weight. What is tested? Intestinal bacteria can be divided into the Bacteroides group and the Firmicutes group, which ideally occur in a one-to-one ratio. Firmicutes have the ability to extract as many calories as possible from the food consumed. They can even convert dietary fiber, which is normally indigestible, into calories. Therefore, people with more Firmicutes in their intestines may absorb more calories each day, even though they do not actually eat more. Verisana uses a stool test to determine whether your tissue transglutaminase and sIgA indicate gluten intolerance or celiac disease. What are the benefits of the test? Verisana offers a stool test that determines the balance between Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. The ratio of these two types of bacteria can serve as a basis for changing your diet and taking targeted dietary supplements to help restore the balance between Firmicutes and Bacteroides. How is the test performed? Simply collect a stool sample at home, have your sample analyzed in our laboratory, and receive the detailed report by mail. The price includes: a sample collection test kit, laboratory analysis, and a laboratory report.
