When it comes to gut health, sometimes the symptoms are only telling part of the story.
That’s where Microba’s CoBiome Gut Microbiome Test can be incredibly valuable. It is a test I use weekly in clinic for complex gut issues. Because
It provides a detailed look at your gut microbiome and key markers associated with gut barrier function, immune activity, parasites and intestinal inflammation, helping us move beyond simply asking “What foods are you eating?” and start looking at what may actually be happening inside your gut.
I’m proud to be a recognised Microba Clinical Partner, which means I can use these advanced microbiome insights as part of a personalised clinical approach.
So what can a CoBiome test reveal?
✅Leaky gut & gut barrier function
Markers including zonulin and secretory IgA (sIgA) can provide valuable information about intestinal barrier integrity and immune activity within the gut.
✅Parasites & gut infections
The testing can identify a range of gastrointestinal organisms, helping us investigate whether parasites or other microbial imbalances could be contributing to digestive symptoms.
✅Inflammation
Markers such as calprotectin and lactoferrin can help identify intestinal inflammation and provide important clues when symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain or changes in bowel habits are present.
✅And so much more!
The goal isn't simply to find a list of “bad bacteria” and eliminate them.
It’s about understanding your individual gut ecosystem, identifying what may be contributing to your symptoms, and then creating a targeted plan to support your gut health.
If you're experiencing ongoing bloating, digestive discomfort, irregular bowel habits, food sensitivities or unexplained gut symptoms, microbiome testing may provide some missing pieces of the puzzle.
