🔍 Giardia is one of the most commonly missed drivers of persistent GI complaints, and it's easy to overlook when symptoms present as non-specific bloating, loose stools, or fatigue weeks after exposure.

🌏 Consider it in any patient with diarrhoea and a recent travel history. Up to 1 in 3 of those returning from developing regions with diarrhoea are infected.

💧 Transmission occurs via contaminated food and water, affecting both humans and animals, so ask about drinking water sources, recreational water exposure, and household or pet contacts.

🦠 Once ingested, Giardia attaches to the lining of the small intestine and replicates rapidly. This can disrupt brush border enzyme function and contribute to malabsorption, secondary lactose intolerance, and nutrient depletion long after the acute phase resolves.

🧬 Giardia is included on all GI Microbiome panels at NutriPATH, so you can assess parasitic involvement alongside commensal balance, digestive markers, and inflammatory status in a single sample.

💭 Does your child struggle with ongoing digestive issues, food sensitivities, constipation, diarrhoea, frequent tummy aches, eczema, allergies, recurrent infections, or has needed several courses of antibiotics?

It may be time to look a little deeper.

Many people think the gut is only responsible for digestion, but it also plays an important role in your child's:
💚 Immune system
🧠 Brain development and behaviour
🥦 Nutrient absorption
🌿 Inflammation and overall wellbeing

At Nourished by Nature, we offer the PAEDIATRIC-Biome Test for children and teenagers aged 3–17 years.

This comprehensive stool test provides an in-depth look at your child's gut health by assessing:
✔️ Beneficial gut bacteria
✔️ Harmful bacteria, viruses and other pathogens
✔️ Inflammation within the digestive tract
✔️ Digestive enzyme function
✔️ Gut barrier health ("leaky gut")
✔️ Short-chain fatty acid production
✔️ Gut immune function

✨ What makes this test different?
Children aren't simply "small adults." Their gut microbiome is constantly changing as they grow, meaning adult reference ranges don't always provide an accurate picture.

The PAEDIATRIC-Biome Test uses age-specific reference ranges designed for children and adolescents, giving a more meaningful assessment of their unique stage of development.

This test may be particularly helpful for children experiencing:
• Ongoing digestive symptoms
• Food reactions or sensitivities
• Constipation or diarrhoea
• Frequent tummy pain
• Recurrent infections
• Gut health changes after antibiotics
• Allergies and eczema
• ADHD, PANS or PANDAS as part of a broader clinical assessment

👩‍⚕️ Following your child's test, we'll meet to discuss the results in easy-to-understand language and develop a personalised nutrition and treatment plan tailored to their individual needs.

📍Available New Zealand-wide.

😮‍💨Do you struggle with bad breath, even though you brush, floss and use mouthwash regularly?

It may not simply be a dental hygiene issue.

For some people, ongoing bad breath (halitosis) can be linked to an imbalance in the oral microbiome—the community of bacteria and yeast that naturally live in your mouth.

When this balance is disrupted, certain bacteria can produce sulphur-containing compounds that create unpleasant odours. These same bacteria may also contribute to gum inflammation and other oral health concerns.

🦷Our Oral Microbiome Profile is a simple oral swab that looks at the balance of bacteria and yeast in your mouth, including microorganisms commonly associated with:
• Persistent bad breath
• Gum disease
• Tooth decay
• Oral inflammation

Rather than masking the smell with mouthwash or mints, understanding what is happening in your oral microbiome may help identify factors contributing to the problem and allow for a more personalised approach to supporting oral health.

Many people live with bad breath for years, often feeling embarrassed or avoiding close conversations. The good news is that oral microbiome imbalances can often be improved through targeted dietary, therapeutic supplements and oral care strategies.

✨ If you've tried everything and your bad breath keeps coming back, it may be time to look a little deeper.

We’re excited to introduce BABY-Biome — a comprehensive gut health test designed especially for babies and toddlers aged 0–3 years.

Mums — did you know your baby’s gut health starts developing from birth? 👶🦠

Those early years play a huge role in shaping digestion, immunity, skin health, mood and overall wellbeing for years to come.

This advanced stool test provides insight into your little one’s developing microbiome and may help uncover factors contributing to:
• Tummy discomfort & bloating
• Colic or unsettled digestion
• Eczema & skin flare ups
• Food sensitivities
• Frequent illness
• Constipation or unusual bowel habits

A baby’s microbiome can be influenced by:
✔ Birth method
✔ Breastfeeding & diet
✔ Antibiotic use
✔ Environmental exposure

Unlike standard testing, BABY-Biome uses age-appropriate ranges specifically designed for infants and toddlers — because babies are not just “small adults” when it comes to gut health.

The test looks at:
• Beneficial gut bacteria
• Digestive function
• Gut inflammation
• Immune markers
• Short chain fatty acids
• Yeast, viruses & unwanted microbes
• Gut barrier health

Supporting gut health early may help support healthier growth, immune resilience and digestive wellbeing as your child develops 🌱

Now available — no referral needed.

📍Suitable for babies & toddlers aged 0–3 years
