StoolOMX™ is a powerful GI-MAP® add-on test that evaluates 25 bile acids (total concentrations, percentages, and ratios) and 9 short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), offering clinicians valuable insights into gut functionality. Bile acids and SCFAs play critical roles in digestion, motility, microbiome balance, and metabolic health. Imbalances in these metabolites can drive conditions such as IBS, IBD, bile acid diarrhea, and altered gut motility. By ordering StoolOMX alongside the GI-MAP, practitioners can uncover the underlying causes of these common conditions.
