Comprehensive Gut Health Analysis

The gut sets the terms for everything downstream.

Your digestive health greatly affects your overall wellbeing, influencing bloating, fatigue, food sensitivities, and skin problems. A gut check is essential to grasp how gut microorganisms impact your health.

How Discovery Diagnostics works

Dr. Roxanne Pero explains how Discovery Diagnostics uncovers what's actually driving your gut symptoms, and how that data shapes a staged restoration protocol built for you. Your results are reviewed with one of our nurse practitioners or physician assistants.

Who it's for

Designed for specific patterns, not everyone.

01

Chronic bloating, reflux, constipation, or loose stools without a diagnosis

02

Growing food intolerance lists and post-meal fatigue

03

Skin, mood, or joint symptoms suspected to be inflammatory in origin

What's included

The full scope of care.

DNA stool analysis

Quantification of commensals, pathogens, fungi, and parasites with digestive and immune markers.

Breath testing

Lactulose breath testing measuring hydrogen and methane to distinguish overgrowth subtypes.

Staged restoration protocol

Remove, replace, reinoculate, repair. Sequenced deliberately rather than layered at once.

Clinical detail

We read every value against functional optimal ranges and your own history, then explain what each one means for the plan.

Clinical detail

01

Calprotectin

02

Secretory IgA

Mucosal immune tone; both high and low readings matter.

03

Beta-glucuronidase

Elevations impair estrogen clearance, linking gut health to hormone balance.

Questions

Before you book.

Do I need to stop probiotics first?

Yes. Pause probiotics 14 days and antibiotics 30 days before collection.

Will I be put on an elimination diet?

Only when indicated, and always time-boxed. Long-term restriction narrows the microbiome.
