Functional Gastrointestinal Testing

Gastrointestinal dysbiosis and enhanced intestinal permeability are increasingly being considered important drivers in a wide range of both gastrointestinal and systemic diseases.

As more and more research suggests strong links between gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction and a growing list of common diseases, it is vital that we as clinicians are able to accurately assess the GI health of our patients. Functional gastrointestinal laboratory investigations can provide clinically useful data to greatly aid in diagnosis and treatment.

In this presentation, Dr Hawrelak will examine three categories of GI testing – breath testing, intestinal permeability testing, and colonic microbiota assessment. He’ll cover indications for their use, explore the pros and cons of different test options available to clinicians, and provide some insight into test interpretation.
