How important is the gut? Researchers call it the “second brain” for its network of nerves (called the enteric nervous system) that helps control digestion and communicate with the brain. Unfortunately, allergies, infections, inflammation, and other problems interfere with this vital gut/brain communication system. Personalabs has a range of tests for digestive problems you can use to support your gut health.
Physicians can use gastrointestinal disease tests to help diagnose food allergies or sensitivities, chronic inflammation, the presence of harmful bacteria, or other common concerns.
Gastrointestinal issues can lead to painful or uncomfortable symptoms, so you want to seek treatment as soon as possible. Personalabs makes it simple to get digestive system tests online. Just select the tests you need, print out the order for the blood work, and take it to one of our 4,000-plus partner labs across the country. Results are typically ready within 24 to48 hours.
Diagnostic tests for digestive disorders include laboratory screening for enzyme levels and the production of antibodies. These antibodies can be triggered by exposure to food sensitivities such as gluten, which can cause celiac disease.
Blood tests for stomach problems can also help identify infection or inflammation in areas of the digestive tract such as the kidneys, liver, or pancreas. You could undergo blood tests or stool tests, depending on your symptoms and risks.
Some conditions have a genetic component, so you may order blood tests for digestive disorders if you have a family history of gastrointestinal issues. Testing can also be recommended if you regularly experience symptoms such as heartburn, bloating, vomiting, or abdominal pain.
Don’t wait to get blood tests if your symptoms are painful or prevent you from performing daily activities. Once you get accurate test results from Personalabs, you can work with your physician to develop a treatment plan that could include medication and lifestyle modifications such as changing your diet and exercise habits.
Personalabs offers a wide range of lab tests, including gastrointestinal disease tests, to put control of your health in your hands. You’ll feel empowered when you have the necessary data to make informed choices to enhance your well-being.
If you have any questions about your results, schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified physicians during a convenient telehealth appointment. Choose from our gastrointestinal blood tests to find out more about your gut health.
