The Gut Zoomer microbiome test’s upgraded panel employs four distinct laboratory techniques — including PCR, ELISA, LC-MS/MS, and protein microarray — to evaluate microbial populations, immune markers, and metabolic byproducts from a single stool sample. This multi-angled approach allows for simultaneous assessment of pathogenic organisms, beneficial bacteria diversity, intestinal permeability markers like zonulin, and clinically relevant metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids and bile acids. The inclusion of antibody testing for gluten sensitivity and autoimmunity adds another diagnostic layer, which connects gut health to systemic conditions. Results from this microbiome test are presented in an optimized report format that categorizes findings by functional domains such as digestion and inflammation while providing symptom correlation overlays for clearer clinical interpretation.
