Method - Stool
 
Upon ordering, the lab kit will be sent directly to your clients home address.
Your client takes their sample in the comfort of their own home and sends their sample to the lab via pre-paid courier.​
 
Test Results
 
2-3 week turnaround time 
Both practitioner and client receive a copy of the test results and a letter of recommendations
​
Items tested
 
The CMM tests for the following (please note that for an exhaustive list, see the sample report):
​
The presence of blood, mucous and food remnants including starches, meat and vegetable fibres, and fat particles.
Beneficial Bacteria (also referred to as Probiotic Bacteria such as Bifidobacterium Longum, Escherichia Coli)
Pathogenic Bacteria (harmful bacteria such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, Yersinia)
Yeasts (such as Candida Albicans, Rhodotorula)
Parasites (such as Giardia Lamblia, Cryptosporidium)
Antibiotic Sensitivities (such as Amoxicillin, Augmentin, Trimethoprim
 
The Complete Microbiome Map is an advanced non-invasive diagnostic tool for assessing gastrointestinal function. As this combines a large number of tests that assess the function of the GUT (gastrointestinal tract), a comprehensive picture of your client's gut health will be formed.
​
The analysis investigates digestion, metabolism, absorption, metabolic markers, pancreatic function, the balance of beneficial bacteria and the presence of harmful bacteria, yeast and parasites & worms.

Gastrointestinal Health
 
The gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) has three main functions:
​
To digest and absorb important nutrients for the healthy growth, cell repair and function
To act as a barrier to keep harmful substances, antigens and microorganisms from entering the blood
Elimination of waste products and toxins
​
The GI tract influences not only GI health. It is also known as the ‘second brain’ and affects the entire body.
 
Within the gastrointestinal tract more than 500 different bacterial species, in excess of 10 organisms per gram of wet weight, can be detected. These bacteria also play a key role in digestion, nutrition, pathogen defence and immune system development. When the function and interplay within this complex system is disturbed, ill-health can easily develop.
 
Multiple areas can influence this fine balance including digestion, absorption, the location, number and specific species of bacteria, parasitic infection, as well as epithelial integrity (lining of the gut) and inflammation.
 
Symptoms
 
Typical symptoms on why we order this test;
Diarrhoea
Blood in the stool
Mucus in the stool
Constipation
Bloating
Bad breath
Abdominal pain
Anaemia
Food sensitivities
Osteoporosis
​
However, other conditions not typically recognised, but associated with gastrointestinal health, include;
 
Chronic fatigue
Depression
Autism
Arthritis
Autoimmune disorders. 
​
These conditions may result from ‘leaky gut’ and the subsequent exposure to foreign particles which may trigger local and systemic immune and inflammatory issues.
